Too many fat quarters
#73
Speaking of FQ's, just got my Joann's flyer in the mail and starting Friday - Monday (Labor Day weekend), all FQ's and FQ bundles are 50% off - PLUS, there is a coupon on the back for an additional 10% off ALL purchases, on sale or not. Guess where I will be next Friday????

Some have posted pics of cute scrappy snowball quilts. Here are links to a couple:

Thanks for your opinions.

you can do anything with fat quarters that you do with fabrics by the yard, except you'll need more of them. it sounds like that isn't the problem. I am sure you have some that are in the same color range that can be grouped together. Make an Irish Chain, 4 patch, 9 patch, sampler with many different blocks, all sorts of applique.
Search for the charts links and look up how many squares you can get from fat quarters, then you can apply that info to any pattern out there. Convert the yardage to fat quarters, and there you go. :lol:
