Default What to do with 6 FQ's???

I got a free gift a 6 fat quarters. I like them, but they are not in my usual choice of colors. Any ideas of what could be done to use them all together, without needing to add much extra fabric, preferably not more than a little bit of solids? Thanks for any help.

You could throw in a 7th FQ and make a Yellow Brick Road!

Missouri Star Quilt Company has a darling tote that uses charm squares and fat quarters, I didn't have charm squares, so I just cut my 5 inch squares. Look for Jenny's tutorial on you tube. Super easy!

I have six precious fat quarters from Anna Maria Horner, and I have sifted through hundreds of patterns. I'm leaning toward something along these lines:

The quilt in the link is not mine, but the pattern is what I have in mind

I have made the quilt "Cutting the Fat" I think it takes only 6 fat quarters, plus sashing, and a boarder, makes a throw size quilt.
