Is it just me or....

You aren't weird at all......I have fabric I have not cut.............but I know what helps me. I pull a thread and square up both ends......after washing the fabric thoroughly. It seems to me that getting it "ready to cut" helps me start.

not anymore after 2 years of making quilts for a magazine and cutting into beautiful fabrics I have kind of gotten used to it and now I find ripping off the selvage to be quite soothing hehehe

I do!

but Jess you've always been weird so for you it would be easy to cut into them. that was a no-brainer, lol. :)) but i still loves ya toots! jeanne

ok, KK, its official. your weird. well you did ask, lol. just do it. the big piece with halloween eyeballs shouldnt hurt ya too much, eh. have fun, jeanne

but.. but... I used to be terrified of making that first cut

hugs back at ya!

You are in good company. I have managed to get over it by telling myself this: I can have a piece of flat fabric, or I can have something I make. The fabric has lots of potential, but it will never be anything more important than a piece of fabric unless I cut it first. It sure would be a shame if I never made anything out of it.

Hell, I can't even cut up a fat quarter if I really love it.

Big peices I can cut very easily. It's the FQs I can't seem to cut. I guess I should buy only BIG pieces!

Send the pieces you cannot bear to cut to me. I will make the sacrifice and do the deed for you. What are friends for? Polly

Not weird. We probably all have pieces we feel for in that way. (Mine is turquoise with a floral design, a gift from DD1 when she lived in Bangkok.) See if you can use one for a backing. totally justifies keeping it in one big piece, and then you get to use the leftovers. Roberta in D

THAT was from Miz Polly? I'll have to backtrack and see 'whom' I thought sent it. Surely not OUR Miz Polly. No way, no how.

Maybe Frood, cause she is getting a bit better but surely NOT our Miz Polly. Musta been into the overripe Iced Tea
