    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

    I like the yellow brick road, but cannot recall how many fat quarters it takes. turning twenty takes 20, maybe add some green or purple to the three colors you have.

    Asking a seamstress to mend is like asking Picasso to paint your garage.

    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

    YBR is a really good investment as there is not another pattern like it for showcasing FQ s. 12 will make a lap quilt 57" x 75", 18 a twin 66" x 93".

    This is a pic I made from some lovely Batiks.

    Edited to add this link http://www.favoritefabric.com/cgi/co...on&key=PATWPEF it is very similar to the YBR but it's free. Do let us know what you decide and what you make

    Thank you quiltingaddictUK for this picture. It is gorgeous! However, I read Quiltin Nan's article on Infringement and not sure if this is acceptable under those guidelines. I do not want to infringe on anyone's copywrite and becoming paranoid about what I can do or not do. Could you or someone here clear this up for me? Thanks for the wonderful picture of your quilt. grammasharon

    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.

    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

    Janedee, would you send a link for the yellow brick road free pattern. I put it in and get lots of hits but have trouble finding a free one. Thanks.
