PaperPrincess, thanks for the link!!
But I STILL haven't cut any of my Asian-themed fabrics.
OneByOne, that's a sad story about your guild member. Definitely a lesson to us all. Just one more thing on my never-ending to-do list.

Thank you PaperPrincess for link to The Craftsmman. It is a nice block for a beginner like me.

Anyone else have fabric like that? Or am I the only crazy pretty fabric hoarder?
Let's see pics of your can't-bear-to-cut-it fabrics! (Unless I'm the only one
)

how about this Figgy Pudding quilt? I have this pattern stashed away as I am hoping to dive into my piles of fabric this next yr. One new project, next a UFO and ALWAYS using up stash!

After that post I did a mini inventory of what I really had on hand, and it was crazy. Right now, if you're at my home and say you really like a piece of fabric, half of it might just go home with you, or maybe all of it. I've NEVER SEEN A HEARSE WITH A UHAUL. Use it folks.
After I finish quilting the most recent UFO that is on my frame, I'm going to dig into my "just can't cut" Asian fabrics and THINK OF HOW TO USE THEM!!!
Which reminds me, I've been wanting to do my Anita Goodesign Mariners' Compass... I think I'll use them for THAT!!
