Every now and then I see a book like Pamela Mostek. Just Can't Cut It and I inspect the front and back on Amazon or some other book seller but I still haven't bought one. It is supposed to have patterns that keep swaths and swaths of the fabrics you love. They'd be "on show" so to speak and maybe you wouldn't feel so bad about using them.
I haven't bought the book so far.
