    I totally understand. I have some old feedsacks that I want to make a quilt from but just can't cut them.

    beautiful fabric and pattern. I'm the same way and actually have quite a few fabric pieces I don't want to cut up.
    I will give in though if it's the perfect fabric for a project...but it usually is quite some time before the perfect project comes along!

    Allow yourself not to be perfect and just go for it. Aiming for perfection spoils the fun. It will be a lovely quilt when you are done.

    That fabric is beautiful and I agree with everyone else. The pattern is perfect for those fabrics. It will show the fabric off wonderfully.

    Oh but think what a gorgeous quilt it is going to make. Go ahead and cut it, there is more out there to buy next time you go to you local fabric store.

    I say go for it, then you'll be able too see the beautiful fabric in your finished quilt every day!
    I do have fabric that I love so much that I only want to use it for a project I'm going to keep. Then whatever piece is left over I hang onto and only want to use if it's something really special.

    I have a couple of pieces of hand dyes and painted fabric that will be hard to cut. They're just so beautiful with the color variations through the cloth. I love looking at them.
