    do any of you have some pieces of favorite fabric you have purchased that you just can't bring yourself to cut for a quilt? I have several I really love but am afraid to take the plunge and make a decision on what to make with them? Seems easier to use lesser liked fabric b/c if you goof up it does not hurt so much.

    I have a bin that is labled moms fabric. It is my fabric that I am going to make a quilt for me. That was a year ago and it is now huge!!! I am like the others and cannot bring myself to cut it!

    I keep thinking once it's gone, I won't have it anymore. So I hoard it. That's nuts.

    I have sunflower fabric I have been saving and thanks to some wonderful quilters I finally have enough of it so after Christmas it will become a quilt.
