I am making a charm Tumbler quilt. I am far, far, far from having anywhere near enough different fabrics to finish it. I have about 30 fat quarters but I cannot bring myself to waste a fat quarter for a 4 inch tumbler piece! Anyone else have this problem?

It's just a little bit--you'll have plenty left over for the next project. I love applique and every teeny little bit is good for something. Cut away! and enjoy yourself.

Lol i'm the same way, i dont even like to take the ribbon off a fat quarter, cus they're so pretty to look at, so i leave the ribbon on as long as possible, and just keep peeking inside to try and see the fabric!!! lol lol Ooooh, don't chop that baby! LOL LOL LOL
