Have you ever had this problem with PIGs?
While organizing my UFOs and PIGs today and updating my list, I realized that there is sometimes a problem with thinking your are going to make something and waiting awhile to get started on it. First, I had a couple that had fabrics together but no pattern. I'm sure I had something in mind, but...2) some of the fabrics have been around for so long I a) don't care for the fabrics anymore, or b) don't want to make the pattern anymore. I think the next thing on my list is to go through all the PIGs, decide if I am going to make them, and then sell or give away fabrics/patterns here on the Board. I think that will make me feel a lot more caught up!

There are several things that I bought fabric intending to make one pattern and then used it for something else. And yes, I have found fabric in my stash that I wondered why in the world I ever bought it!

Happens a lot, to all of us. Separate the fabric out and put it back in your stash. If there is enough it might be a nice backing. Down the road I've always found a use for that fabric and it was very handy to have it available. BUT if you really don't like it, then give/trade it with a quilting friend.

I totally understand your situation. I think that's why I procrastinated so long on some of my UFOs. Once they were started there wasn't much I could do but finish them. But, if I hadn't cut into the fabric, I'd add it to my stash. If there is something really ugly that you don't want anymore..... well, whatever you decide to do with it is okay.
