So ask yourself these question's, "What is the worst that will happen when I cut into it and if I don't cut into it now, when will I cut into it?"
It's now or never, honey. Just do it.

Don't cut it. Use it for the back of a great quilt. Of course, backs are more important to me than to lots of other people. Sometimes the back is better than the top.

Fantastic Idea!

I know the feeling, as I think most quilters do. Fabric that is too pretty for current project, but who is to say that a better project will crop up? Someone has said that her stash is her "worship center."
