Just hang onto it! You may only want to use some of them in a different quilt. May be perfect for a couple of samplers or use them all in a sampler! So many options that it does get confusing..

Turning Twenty is my go-to--it really shows off the fabric.

You need matching yardage for background, binding, borders. Fats are great for the variety of fabrics but you do need coordinates.

This is one that Peckish posted on another thread: Spanish Tiles - it's a beautiful quilt, imho. Designed for FQ's. I did buy the book but not FQ's, I got yardage.

Ditto. Just take your time, look around for Fat Quarter Quilt patterns and let the fabrics speak to you. You will know when you find the right pattern to show them off.
