Am I the only one who hesitates to cut fabric? It's like I just don't want to cut into that pretty piece of fabric for some reason. lol, yeah I'm a little crazy.
And am I the only one who doesn't really much enjoy that part of quilting... the cutting?

I hate to cut my Japanese fabrics. This is because most of them have such large designs on them that would be lost if cut into smaller pieces. I'm searching for a quilt pattern that will show them off.

I'm the same way-
I love to pull out my stash and stroke the fabric. And I have 2 "collections" I need to make quilts from, but they are so pretty I'm worried I will cut it wrong.
Rebecca- I have a Japanese panel and some coordinates- same thing- looking for the "right" pattern. Maybe we need to make a thread for help with pics of our fabrics and someone can help us.
Until then, got some really cool Christmas fabs on sale yesterday at LQS. After stroking gently, I plunged in and cut them into strips for FDIL to make stockings and I made 2 sets of the cute criss cross coasters on another thread. Have enough to make some tablerunners and a few more coasters.
I love the quality of quilt shop fabric! (Am I a fabric snob?)
