Why not just set aside a small square of all those fabrics you love? They can be like a memory book. If you remember fabrics like I do (kind of obsessively) even seeing just a 2" bit of it, you'll recall what all of the rest of the design looked like. And you could probably fit literally thousands of 2" squares into a shoebox, and even if you had to move into a tiny trailer or a one-room shack you could still take all those fabric friends with you.

I have fabrics I am using now that is christmas theme and I am truely about to greive. I have one left it is a fancy dark red almost wine color with gold swirles that forms cardinals I can not think about cutting so, I am looking for a pattern called fireside snuggler, so I will not have to cut it in small pieces. Why do we do this? It is so funny to my daughters boyfriend, He just doesn't get it.

I hope you find your pattern, and when you finally do cut your fabric (even though it will be to make something beautiful) I will feel your pain!

I have a royal blue that is at least 10 years old -- I bought 8 yards and have used it forever in all kinds of quilts. I have a strip 6" wide by 5 yards left and don't know what I will do when this is gone. I had a similar true red piece but it is gone -- sigh. I can't find the shades any more. Sigh.
