Yup! If the fabric is one I especially love, it takes me a long time to get up the nerve to commit it to a project and then to find the courage to cut it. I go into scissor and rotary blade paralysis.

Take a look at Focus Pocus, or BQ, etc. You may find the perfect one. Keep us posted.
Could you explain more about what Focus Pocus and BQ are? I tried a web search but there are a lto of things named Focus Pocus. Thanks!

Then there are those whojust like to let it all hang out, they just show up in every quilt. I am amazed how they separate themselves.

I have a hard time cutting several of my fabrics. When I think there is a great pattern, my next thought is I will find a better one soon. I take it out, refold it, touch it and try to match it to a pattern. That's how I my stash got out of hand. Oh well, I am trying to bust the stash so someday soon.
