Default favorite easy fat quarter pattern

So I have a wonderful new Juki and I want to practice my FMQ skills. I also have a tiny sewing room and a ton of fabric including oodles of fat quarters. To kill 2 birds with one stone, I want to piece a few quick tops from my stash and use them to practice on and then donate them.

I have a Turning Twenty pattern, and I will use that. I think I can also do a fast rail fence, but would love to hear about your favorites. I am looking for patterns that will use up FQ without needing too much other fabric (trying to bust the stash and not spend much this month).

Thanks!

My favorite fat quarters pattern is "Crumbs" by Me and My Sisters.

Atkinson Designs has a lot of FQ patterns. Lucky Stars is my favorite. Great background to do your FMQ in!

Lucky Stars is one of my faves, too. It's easy, but a step up from Yellow Brick Road if you are still working on your piecing skills.

"Cheaper by the Dozen" is a fast one with a nice look when it is done.
