From the looks of you quilt pic you don't need to worry about your skills needing improvement. I like that one.

No clue on that one but I find I cut easier than I used to.

That does it for me: "Those beautiful fabrics that you just can't cut into.....do it......otherwise your grandkids will inherit that fabric and make Halloween costumes out of it" Snip snip snip!

I know exactly how you feel. I have a large (maybe 2 yds) piece of fabric that looks like a painting of an indian village. Its very beautiful. And I just can't bring myself to cut it.

Cut it girls just cut it up. Make a quilt called the Prints I Love and you will love it in a quilt to.

so make it into a painting you can hang on your wall instead of cutting it. My sil had me make him a funny looking wall hanging to put up over their fireplace. It looks great, forgot to take picture of it. Joann's has 50% off custom framing. Would that make a great frame for you fabric or what?

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.
