Once I had a FQ bundle that was pretty, but too formal for my style. I used the least formal approach - I cut the FQs into 9" squares and made a rag quilt. It is still my family's favorite quilt. I used natural muslin for the back squares and I used 8" squares of scrap batting in between. You can use the squares to practice FMQ or quilt a simple X. Join them with 1/2" seam, with the seam showing on the right side of the quilt. Cut the seams 1/4 to 3/8" deep about 1/2" apart. The more you wash your quilt the raggier it will look - totally informal, with formal fabric. My kind of quilt.
