Yup with you...hard to cut some fabrics, takes me mths to decide what to do with them and then still hesitate and go out for new fabric to use...But eventually I cut it and it gets used...
|
I am making an effort to use them. Several have found good homes. Garden Maze is one good setting for fabrics you want to use in large pieces.
|
A big huge Yes! I can totally relate to you!! LOL...

I have some that I bring out and touch it, refold and decide not to cut into that beautiful fabric and I put it back! I usually say "I will say that for later". NOt a big problem yet!

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?

It is so HARD to cut into one's favorite fabrics. But hopefully, someone will get enjoyment out of the quilt that I make !!!

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....
