What pattern do you suggest for 15 fat quarters?
I am going to a quilt retreat in April and looking for something I can do while I am there. I have 15 fat quarters from different lines but all the same color range of yellow, black and white designs. I have had them for a couple of years and decided that I need to do something with them. Looked at images and am drawing a blank. Wondering if there is a free pattern for yellow brick road and if these would work for that pattern. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I have made quilts for several years but still consider myself a beginner. However, I am getting better at matching corners. Thanks in advance for any ideas you can give me. Sharon

Yellow Brick Road is not a free pattern. When you purchase one, you will find it is a good one to have. It gives the directions for several different sizes. It's fast and easy. Yes, your FQ's will look great in this pattern.

Thank you Suzanne, I will try and find the pattern. I don't have much success looking for specific tutorials on Missouri Star site. Haven't figured out how to search for specific patterns. I may have the turning twenty pattern and will look for some fabrics to add. I am not able to send pictures. My ipad doesn't always like to send them tho it may be the operator. If you have a link for the turning 20 I'd appreciate your sharing it. Sharon

Maryb119 Well now that explains why I can't find a free pattern for yellow brick road. Will pick one up when I find it. Thank you for answering my questions. I am not very good finding patterns on the computer so thought it was me. Sharon

Yellow Brick Road is a *great* pattern--for scraps, for fat quarters, for doing a fairly quick quilt that is very interesting to look at. I think it is one of the best patterns I have ever bought, for the ideas, for the versatility of it. And, I think you could use your 15 fat quarters (I don't know how many blocks that would make); but if you have 5 light fabrics, 5 medium, and 5 darker ones; or 5 large print, 5 medium print, 5 small print; or that the 15 fat quarters are balanced in some fashion; then you should have an interesting and successful quilt.

Thanks nuffsaid! I do have some extra ones I could add or will buy some. Still need the pattern but will need to send for it or get to a shop. I am not opposed to buying it but thought maybe it was on line. I have some quilt magazines and books and will look through them. Sharon
