I didn’t groan. Honest! You just need to get those bags out of your system before you move on. Besides, this isn’t work or school or the sewing Olympics. It’s playing with your blocks and fabrics and doing your own thing.

Even experienced quilters are sometimes terrified about cutting into their favorite fabric. I can’t say that you’ll get over it, but you’ll come to realize that if you mess it up you’ll find another way to make it beautiful.

Just have fun!

I think it’s partly an act of courage, cutting into the fabrics and attempting to sew them – it’s terrifying. If I can rub my two remaining brain cells together, I’ll bring the Japanese charm pack in tomorrow so you can see what I’m talking about. Maybe they’ll pre-wash into something more acceptable, but overall… meh.

omg yummy fabrics! I saw those japanese ones the other night, and thought about buying them, but I could hear my wallet crying so I just closed the browser.

that’s sad to hear they’re so crappy, they look awesome.

I know what you mean about the decision paralyzation. I think that’s part of the reason why I haven’t actually sat down and *made* anything yet.
