Have you ever fallen in love with fabric you don't want to cut it?

Absolutely and I still have it! I know that at some point a special quilt will come along and then that special fabric will be the perfect piece to add. Until then I just pet the fabric and enjoy the feelings I get when I see the colors and print that I love so much.

I have three yards of japan made silk print. It is red with different colored butterflys. It was a gift from an instructor I had when I audited his company. He often traveled to Japan and thought the fabric would be nice as he knew I liked to sew. I have had it for about 10 years... in perfect condition... and for the life of me I cant bring myself to cut it. It is something I pull out and look at with good memories. Maybe someday.

Yup! I am with you. I do find projects I use them in but I am hesitant to use any of it untill I have done that perfect project. I am trying to break that habit.

I am just glad I am not the only one...the ones I find hard to cut are my batiks....been collecting a few along for years. I am trying to get up the nerve to start using them. I have used a few in baby quilts for my granddaughter and for my nephew...but that is it. and not very many at that.

Oh my gosh, yes. All the time which is why I have such a lg. stash. I've had some pcs. for yrs. that are still sitting folded on the shelf. Seems really foolish right now. With some things, I make tableclothes so if I ever decide to use them for quilts they're still in one lg. pc. Also, that way, I get to look at it.
