When I have a concern about some new pattern and don't want to mess up or don't think I have enough fabric, I make a test block out of some other fabric that I don't care that much about. Sometimes, based on the test block I changed what fabric goes where because I realize that it would look better this other way. Bottom line: don't let your brain talked you into/out of something. Go ahead and get started!

You loved it when you bought it so now use it to show off your great idea.

Several years ago, I might have felt the same way about cutting into beautiful fabric. But now that I am certain I do not have enough years left to sew up all my stash, I just cut it with abandon. It's really very freeing.

I am absolutely sure WE ALL buy those fabrics that WE JUST LOVE and"can not" cut into....my hand is up for the vote on that one!!! Just take that project out and get started....so you can enjoy the fabric even more!! But do something you don't want to give away!! ENJOY :-)

I have had those fears too and your fabrics are lovely but I think you should face your fears and go ahead and do it!

Post pics!

I see what you mean! Try to see the end in your imagination, maybe that will help you.
