Im new here, new to quilting. I am in awe everytime I snoop thru the forum. Each one of you is so incredibly talented. I can't imagine your feeling threatened or fear of messing up and ruining your favorite cut. Have confidence, your thoughts and ideas, how you put your craft to work is amazing!

My problem seems to be that fabrics I didn't know I liked that much, became favorites after I had used them in a quilt. Something about how once they mingled with the other fabrics in the quilt made me realize that I loved them. Oops too late, now they are in the quilt being given away, instead of my stash.

For years I have just added to my batisk collection, just couldn't seem to cut them up but I've been a lot better in the past year. I've decided I WILL use them in my quilts..then they won't be in a cabinet in the dark...instead they will be in a pretty quilt on a bed. Makes more sense to me.

Last week I pulled out my Christmas fabric and looked and looked at my patterns,trying to get the right feel as to what to use the fabric for.I almost put it back in my closet for another year but didn't. I made placemats and table topper and am on the second set, I am very pleased with how they turned out and happy I finally cut that cloth!I am finding myself not wanting to use my fabric more and more. I think I am not being to smart. This is why we buy fabric and why companies make it.This keeps the economy going,at least this is what I tell my husband!
