I have bought several FQ bundles. There's just something about having a "taste" of all or almost all fabrics in a collection. Then the problem is, what to make with them? I currently have a bundle of batiks and I'm trying to decide.

Below is a pic of a quilt top I made last year with a Moda "Spirit" FQ bundle. Would love to see what any of you have done with one. Please post pics... I need inspiration! :D

Thanks!

I bought a FQ collection that consisted of 68 different Michael Miller's Fairy frost and this is just one of the quilts I have done so far with it. I have several different projects in the works with more of these same FQs.

Thanks hope this helps,

They are beautiful. Even if I could post pictures, I wouldn't because the two of you are so good. BrendaK

I just bought this pattern to make with a bundle of Hoffman Bali Batiks in the "Jasmine" assortment. I've got it cut out, but need to finish up a couple of things first. The pattern is well written and printed on nice quality paper.

I've made a couple of Turning Twenty with FQ bundles for Project Linus & have been pleased with the results. Quick pattern & little fabric waste.

What do I do with my fat quarter bundles? I place then in a nice basket, where they mingle with the other fat quarters I've bought (and probably reproducing because I don't remember buying all of those) and dream of what they might become one day when I finally cut them up.

I love that French Braid. could you post a link to the pattern? Or where you bought it please?
