    Hi all,
    I am new here and new to quilting. Awhile back I bought a harvast bundle of material from Joann's it is 5 fabrics in colors/patterns for Thanksgiving. they are pieces that are 18 x 21 inches. Anyone know what I could do with this that is easy and simple? I am searching here and online, but any help from someone with more experience would be welcomed.

    A table runner or fall wall hanging perhaps?

    Try searching (here and google) for easy fat quarter patterns. I have found many free patterns on the internet.

    Hi and welcome to the board!!! That size is known as a fat quarter, so look as AgapeStitches recomends. I know when I first started all the terms for the sizes of fabric was confusing, but in no time at all you'll be a pro LOL.

    hi and welcome from NJ. just last night I came across a tutorial on making a Dresden turkey, they used a packet of fall colored 5 inch charm squares. I can't wait to try it. Heres the link,

    This is a cute one, pretty straight forward and you would have enough fabric:
