    What Fat Quarter quilt book would you suggest? I've been looking online but I want the opinion of someone who actually has the book so that I know it will be a great buy.

    I have a couple fat quarter books. They are somewhere in my room, hidden at the moment. I know....big help, huh? lol
    Anyway....I bought them because there were a couple patterns in there that I liked. I don't think I would have bought them if I didn't look at them first.

    Any scrap quilt is FQ friendly. I guess I don't understand the need for people to write FQ books. But since I don't understand the need, I haven't bought any of them - so I may be missing something good!

    I can't wait to see what people recommend. I have lots of fat quarters, but no books.

    Ditto. I have some pretty fabrics and would like to use them together. Does anyone have suggestions for books or patterns for quilts using just fat quarters?

    I signed this book from the library. I am not qualified to review it since I'm new at quilting. However, I would suggest that you go to your library and check them out first before you buy them. Get them WorldCat interlibrary loans if you have to.

    Bundles of fun : quilts from fat quarters by Snyder, Karen.

    Here's a link to the one & only FQ books I have. It was bought for me as a gift for my birthday last year by my cousin who's been quilting for 25 yrs.
    She thought it would be ideal for me as a newbie.
    I have to say I've not made anything from it yet but I love everything about this book.
    Good luck with your search :wink:

    Not a book, but a pattern. Check out Yellow Brick Road by Teresa Atkinson. I loved working this pattern, it was so much fun, you can make lots of sizes.
