I use the scraps and make cathedral window blocks by hand as a history of all the beautiful fabircs I have used in quilts and hate to part with. I have to admit I do just get my stash out and stare and plan and then put away as well.

I can totally relate. I had a very good friend give me some absolutely georgous fabric that was very expensive. I'm waiting for just the right project to put it in. I've pulled it out many times to look at and feel and I just can't make myself cut into it. One day just the right project will come along that just calls out for it and I will cut it in a heartbeat. I have other fabrics like that too, but not to the same intensity.

I have been given fabric that is so beautiful that I don't want to cut it, and I have been giving scraps that I put these tiny pieces aside for something spiecal, and these are just tiny pieces. silly I know but it is so pretty. God bless. Penny

I do have a little ziploc with a few fabrics that I wish I could find to get more of. None of them have any selvage info, some were given to me, one piece came from a scrap bin somewhere. I take them with me to shows, when I travel to other QS and ask around. They are older so I'm sure discontinued.

I also have the issue. I don't like to cut any fabric I really like either, I have seperation issues with them. I guess that is why I also have lots of uncut fabric.....another hurdle to jump when I do get time to start sewing again.

I'm glad to know that I'm the only one who loves certain fabrics so much that she can't bear to cut them. I may be fabric crazy, but I'm happy to know I'm not the only one with the disease. This one disease of which I don't want to be cured.
