I tell my students all the time, "Don't buy fabrics you fall in love with UNLESS you have a definite plan to cut it up and use it in a quilt."
Great advice. But we all do it. I bought a lot of J. Wecker Frisch's fabrics and while I have used bits of them very judiciously, I still have an awful lot of it.
As my Mother spent a lot of her career as a professional artist, it was clear that I had to make an Art Bird to represent her in her quilt. I was able to cut into my J. Wecker Frisch fabrics and put together what I think is a nifty bird that represents my Mom.
Can you say "fussy cuts galore?"

This bird is FABULOUS!
Just so awesome. I love it!
I really like her fabrics but honestly many of them are hard to use UNLESS you fussy cut. A most excellent bird!
Wow!!! That shows how your fussy cutting is done to the highest degree.
Perfect bird to represent your mom! I have two separate hobbies, collecting fabrics and quilting ;-) In all seriousness, some fabrics are hard to use unless they are fussy cut. You once talked about fabrics that don’t know what color they are, or something to that effect …..I’m going to have to search your blog and read it again because it was a light bulb moment for me.
Well, that was good to read your post about your stash and fabric thoughts again……..thank you!
I love this bird!
