I have fabrics that I absolutely refuse to cut into! I know, what a waste of money; Not to me! These babies have their very own shelf and I get them out often, unfold them, pet them, refold them and put them back on the shelf. I lost just about everything in a nasty break up almost 2 years ago and my fabrics were one of the few things I was allowed to take with me when I left. I treasure these fabrics and will probably never cut them. . .

It seems like I am in good company!!! LOL! I have a couple shelves full of fabric that I just can't bear to cut into. I keep telling myself to cut, sew, quilt and enjoy the fabric, but so far it isn't working. LOL!!

oh man, I am right here in this. I have several (and I do mean several) yards of assorted oriental fabric. I love them so......and yet just cannot find the appropriate pattern/block to present them in. I also have 4 different yardages of a mauve/cranberry/pink......I have had that for 4 years. I just look and drool. I guess I need some help!! Maybe we all need to get together, bring our precious stash and help each other! Quilting weekend anyone?

I have several that I've been holding onto for years. Just today I used the remaining fabric for the third and final border on a scrap quilt. Then I almost shrieked because toward the very end I realized I was about 6" short. I went through my scrap bins and couldn't find any. I did have one piece left that was about 2-1/2" wide (I needed 3-1/2") and 12 inches long. Thank goodness it was dark and busy because I was able to sew the two strips together and cut it into a 3-1/2" width and finish the border. But now my fabric is all gone....
