    Default fat 1/4 quilts ideas

    Like to get some pattern ideas for fat quarters other than the yellow brick road. I would like to make like a twin or full size quilt with about 20 fat 1/4s from the same line of fabrics.
    Any suggestions? Thanks for your input.

    I found this quilt last week and it's on my list to do. Sugar Flowers by Jera at Quilting in the Rain. Link here:

    If you make the square in a square blocks like she suggests, none of your squares will have a point when you sew your blocks together. I guess if they're all done like that, it will at least be consistant.

    What about a puzzle type quilt? Let me see if I can find pictures of any of mine. These are lap sized, but it would be easy enough to make them larger.

    If you don't have a pattern to buy, try a D9P. I have seen some stunning quilt done especially if you careful with the placement of the same accent fabric in the center square. Good Luck !!

    I was just thinking about that. I would make the white fabric bigger, at least 8.5"" to compensate the overlap which would give you points. I may be off with the measurement.
