I have that one. Have made quite a few from there.
Like I said before....I LOVE fat quarter quilts!

I am addicted to Joann's fat quarters when they are on sale for 99 cents also. However, if it's a fabric I really like, I look for the same thing on the bolt. Often it's on sale for 30% off and if it's originally 2.99 (and sometimes I'm lucky and it is) then I might buy half a yard for the same price as the fat quarter.

I love having all those fat quarters in their handy little storage whatsis thing - I do a lot of quilting with "scraps" and some applique and those fat quarters are just right for that. Also have a fantastic swing bag pattern that takes 2 fat quarters, 2 zippers, and some leftover batting.

Fat quarters are what brought me to this site. I was surfing and looking for what to do with them because my SIL had given me a package saying there should be enough to make quilt. I don't particularly like the fabrics but want to sew something (simple) so I can let her know that her gift was appreciated. Like you, I had no idea what to do with these chunks of fabric but through this site I learned that there are actually whole quilt patterns for them. Books full of 'em!
My FQs shrank when I pre-washed them so only one of the 20 was still 18x22. The rest ranged from there to about 15x19. Not one yielded the number of strips called for in the pattern.
The pattern is called "Wickedly Easy Quilts" and I found it through a link on this site at

After all this FQ research, I'm excited to start making quilts using them.

Thanks for the new website to check out ...I know what you mean I have had so many questions answered because of this board ...questions I thought were probably silly but I asked anyway and found I was not alone alot of folks had FQ's and had no idea what the heck to do with them....well now we can just make those pretty quilts can't we?...haha

I just saw a post yesterday where someone listed all the different size squares you can get and how many of each from one fat quarter. I have spent a half hour looking for it to no avail. I know - I should have book marked it - but didn't.

Does anyone know where I can find it again.

Thanks! Pat

Pat, check about.com's quilting info for basic cutting instructions. It goes through charm sizes, fat quarters, fat eighths, etc.
