How do you do it?

Seriously --- how do you ever get the courage to fussy cut all these beautiful wonderful Kaffe fabrics? I am a hoarder of all my Kaffes, keep them segregated from the rest of the stash and all my scraps in a separate container. While they play well with others -- I don't share them well in other quilts. So -- here I sit with the most wonderful 1/4 yd cuts from Glorious Color, a Lollypop Trees pattern that makes my heart sing, my Kaffe scraps/stash, and all I feel comfortable doing is cutting the 2.5" squares b/c that conserves fabric and doesn't make big holes.

This is a serious question and I know you're going to tell me to just jump in -- but it seems incredibly wasteful and I want to make sure I don't compromise the block b/c I'm trying to save as much fabric as possible. Some of you will "get" this and others are likely to recommend therapy.

All I have to do is get another big project done and then I can have all the time I want to fret about fussy cutting! Thanks for any suggestions (except the therapy!). :0
