I have a yard of a blue 1930's reproduction fabric that I absolutely love. I haven't cut it. It is several years old. I just take it out and run my hand over it..and admire it. One day I was browsing on line quilt shops and ran across a sight with tons of that fabric. I bought 6 more yards. LOL..one of these days I will make a quilt for me..and it will be the dominate fabric.

I have tubs of the original vintage 1930 feedsacks fabrics.. I seem to accumulate them and I can't find myself to use them.. I pull them, feel them, lay them out, out think of a pattern and just when Im ready to cut into the feedsacks I put them away and grab the 1930 reproductions instead..I can replace the newly acquired repros but my feedsacks, nah, I just can do it..

Oh yes, I am so glad this came up. It's not nice in my family to admit that I 'pet' my fabric. People roll their eyes and laugh. However, I have pieces that I won't cut because the current project will not use up the whole piece and then will I be sorry that I didn't save it for a project that uses the whole thing? And also, what if I use it for this and I will be sorry I didn't save it for that.
For me, it's like eating your cake and having it, too. Such a dilemma when it comes to using your very faves.
