What to do with Fat Quarters??
When I first started out I went crazy purchasing fat quarters. Now, what do I do with them? It seems like none of them go together and I am at a loss. I did use one batch of black and white fat quarters for a backing, but my others just don't lend to that. Any ideas? HELP!!!

I would be willing to bet that if you liked the FQs you bought, that they do go together - at least some of them.
When I started out, everything had to be matchy-matchy - and now I realize that sometimes variations in color and/or theme can be a good thing.
As far as what to do with them - I don't know. I have long pieces I'm reluctant to cut up.

I think that happens with most of us when we begin quilting. We want a stash so we just buy fabric without much of an idea of what we want, how we will use it or how to get a cohesive variety. I'm still using up stuff I bought under those "guidelines". Now when I buy fabric I get either 3, 6 or 9 yards so I can actually do something with it!
