I am making a charm Tumbler quilt. I am far, far, far from having anywhere near enough different fabrics to finish it. I have about 30 fat quarters but I cannot bring myself to waste a fat quarter for a 4 inch tumbler piece! Anyone else have this problem?

It's just a little bit--you'll have plenty left over for the next project. I love applique and every teeny little bit is good for something. Cut away! and enjoy yourself.

Oh...I know what you mean!!! I've finally decided that if I have to use just a little...it goes into the scrap bag...then I must replace it as soon as possible with a new WHOLE FQ!!! :lol: Otherwise, my stash feels pain!!!
