I'm not sure where my cousin got it. There aren't any 'edges' to look at, they're all cut off.

You could make 2 thread catcher/pin cushions. Uses 2 fat quarters each. Keep one for yourself and give one to a quilting friend just because you care. Or you could give both away.

I think that they would make a great tote bag! They are great!

Have you seen Ricky Timm's Convergance patterns? These would look great in one of them, and fat quarters are the perfect size for them.

Love the colors. You could either make a tote or just put them in your stash until you come up with an amazing idea!

I've never made any totes. Does anybody know of easy beginner totes?

Thanks.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Fear not, you will always be able to find fabrics to go along with those. Most fabric or quilt stores carry similar brights. With 6 fat quarters and maybe 3/4 yard of one other fabric, there are some nice lap quits that you can make. The book "Fat Quarter Quilts" by M'Lis Rae Hawley has some great and fairly easy quilts.

I think there is a panel that goes with those fabrics.
Here are some of the fabric line.

I love those bright colors and if you can't decide how to use them, I'll take them off your hands then you will not have to make a decision. Forgot to tell you the name of the fabric line is Fabricholics Forever. If those are note from that line, they would fit in perfectly.

Have you ever heard of the pattern "A Little Duffle Do It?" Here is a link:
http://www.sewthankful.com/LittleDuffleDoItPattern.html

I don't know how to send live links, sorry.

There are other vendors out there that sell this pattern this is just a help to see what the pattern looks like. I have made numerous mid-sized bags and people love them. All you need are two fat quarters each and your material is just perfect for the outside and inside of the bag. Hope you like it!
