    JCrow- It's $29. It was your money. You're an adult. You have confessed to some degree here on this board.

    Don't let guilt take from the joy of your great purchase. Do what will make you feel right about it. Pray about it and the answer will come to you. You will do what is right for you and yours

    Enjoy your cutter and congratulations on your purchase. Let go, jump in with both feet. Life is short.

    All that being said- No one, not nobody tells me how to spend my money.

    Have a great day. Do good stuff and don't sweat the rest.

    I love my Quilt Cut 2. I don't know how I ever managed to cut straight strips before, but I do with this. I wouldn't trade it for the much of anything. You are going to love it too!

    Gee this was YOUR money and you have to account for it? I agree with the gals that say to drop it and let it ride.

    Knowing that life changes all the time, and that my husband's reactions do too, I once found and clipped out this little ditty: "If you're gonna doubt it, don't do it.
    If you're gonna do it, then don't doubt it."

    That has helped me sort out where I really stand about purchases! :-)

    My husband also says that I have too much fabric also, so sometimes I can't tell the truth. No, I would not tell him. Was is done, is done. Just go ahead an enjoy it. I'm sure the guys hide some expsenses too!

    Hubby would never dare tell me I spend to much on my quilting or anything else considering the stuff he buys for himself or has in the past. I don't feel I have to justify what I do buy either. I've worked since the age of 5 working in potato fields (did not have labor laws back than like they do now) and worked all my adult life therefore feel no need to justify what I may choose to buy. Lies get us no where so just tell him the truth and be done with it. Personally I could never be married to or have as a partner anyone that questioned how I spent my money.

    Promise to make money on quilts you make using it, and repay the kitty as a show of good faith.

    Since you asked...
    Sometimes the truth hurts, but you won't have to agonize over having made the right decision or not. Be honest. Honesty breeds respect, the most important ingredient in a good relationship, in my opinion.

    If he gripes too much remind him how much his hobbies cost. Hunting trip, outfitting the bass boat, deer corn. New rod & reel.

    I think you can spend your own money anyway you choose. Just enjoy the quilt cut (I have one and I love it) and don't worry about it. You should not have to ask permission to spend your own money.
