the bad things of fat qtrs. and patterns. fat qtrs. are getting smaller because the width of fabrics is getting skinnier. They used to be 18x22 inches. Sometimes I will say that the way you turn your fabric depends on how your cuts will work. I did the Wickedly Easy quilt and my fabrics had been washed. mistake!! I had to sew some skinny strips of left overs (two colors) together to get the width strip the pattern called for in some cases. about two of my fabrics were too small to get the cuts required. all I can say is good luck!! get some more colors that will "go" with your others and continue on.
