I have a couple of fabrics that I love in my stash that I can't bring myself to cut. One is a paisley that feels so silky. The fabric and the pattern you have chosen are well suited. It will be a stunning creation.

I have some like that. It is called Dragonfly Daze. I have the pattern, everything. I have another quilt I HAVE to make first, then I am going to dive in and go for it. Your quilt is going to be so gorgeous!

I would look for a different pattern. The one the material says to make me.

I've had the same problem before. That is when you just have to take the bull by the horns and make that first cut. Afterall, you aren't getting the full enjoyment out of your fabric by having it sitting in the closet and only taking it out every now and then. think how much you will love being able to look at it all at once in that gorgeous pattern you picked out for it! Get cracking girl! Get those sissors out!

I can see why you don't want to cut that fabric! Just do it! Don't forget to measure twice and cut once. That will be a beautiful quilt!!!!

I still hesitate to cut it then I remember what a speaker at our guild once said. She said "Just remember when your die and your friends get your fabric it will be the first one they cut." Since then I decided that I want to be the one to cut it and make something.

Go for it!!! Your pattern will highlight your beautiful fabrics perfectly! Then you can enjoy looking at your fabrics on your bed instead of pulling them out of your stash! BTW, I always make a sample block first before doing all of my cutting to make sure the pattern is correct and I understand all the instructions. Good luck - can't wait to see the finished quilt!

Your quilting skills have probably increased incredibly since you bought this fabric and pattern. You're almost a pro now, right? Go for it!
