here are images for this search. lots of attractive quilts here. https://www.google.com/search?q=elea...s%27+&tbm=isch

You could use any of Bonnie Hunter's patterns. I also like Eleanor Burns Quick Quarter quilts.

Thanks so much to everyone, I have gotten a lot of good ideas. I am right now watching Eleanor Burns Hole in a Wall video, and that is definately one that I am going to make. Looks complicated as a finished quilt, but the instructions are so easy, that I know I can do that one. I have also done the google search and printed off several free patterns. Now off to the sewing room and get busy. Will post when I get some made. Could be a year or so. lol

I love to do Path Through the Woods or Lady of the Lake with FQs. Also a scrappy Hunters Star.

Any of the fabric manufacturers have pretty free fat quarter friendly patterns on their websites.

I just saw the video for Fat Quarter Fizz from the Fat Quarter Shop. It is a very easy pattern and looks great. Here's a link:

I just watched the Hole in the Wall video and want to make that one. Then I also watched Eleanor's zigzag quilt video, and I want to make that one too.

My favorite is Anka's Treasures. She has a book "Fat Quarter Five" of which I have made 3 of the quilts. Also "Livin' Large" and "Livin' Large2" Designed to really let larger, ,bolder prints shine. http://ankastreasures.com/ She also has many separate patterns, which I love. I've made 2 Sweet Pea quilts.
