When I started quilting I bought a lot of fab on-line....now I'm more selective with my choices. Those ugly fat quater bundles that at one time I thought were so pretty are still on my self. Bonnie Hunter's theory is if you think It's ugly you haven't cut it small enough.
So, found this link on line to make log cabin blocks with layer cakes....10" squares. Just need additinal 2.5" block for centers. Plan to dive into my 2.5 container for centers.

Today will make stacks of lights and darks, press, cut 10" squares, and left overs into usable sizes. Can't remember how big the quilts is when using 42 squares. I"m just gonna sew with reckless abandon.
Another use for UFQ is to sew them together and use as backs. Depenending on size of top you may need more or less.
Above are just suggestions but they are should help me wilth my stash of uglies.
Look out Project Linus. I"m on a mission here!!!
