You mean we are suppose to do something with them :shock: LOL
There are some patterns and books out that use them - but I never buy enough in a color theme/scheme to make anything with- I use them when I just need a little bit of the fabric

Besides Turning Twenty, they work really well for a Ten Minute block. I just finished seven of them for a Row Robin- look in our Friends Know No Borders pictures for the blue and white rows if you desire...

it is a larger way to cut 1/4 yd of fabric. There are thousands of books/patterns designed just for using FQ cuts!
They are also great for trading, gift giving, making small items like wallets, ornamtents, pin cushions, etc...FQ are a great way to start a collection of fabrics, like civil war or 1930's reproductions, novelty prints, IE: chickens, there are so many reasons to have FQ's....

I am collecting turquoise fat quarters for my next quilt - Lucky Stars - batiks that is. It calls for 30 FQ. Go up to the top of this page and "search" for Lucky Star quilts and you should see some spectacular ones from our wonderful quilters on here

I'm torn about fat quarters... I have many and I continue to buy them. I use them for smaller quilted projects like wall hangings, hotpads, placemats etc. I'm always afraid that whatever fat quarter I do have will be perfect for a larger project and I won't have enough fabric to use it!!!!

I bought a huge assortment of FQ from someone on here and have loved having the variety.
I'm in the Boomerang 5.0 East exchange and these have come in soooo handy for making one special block.
Someday, I might decide I want to do a strip quilt and I'll have a lot to start with.
Besides, they look so pretty in the basket / boxes.
