    Default 16 Fat Quarters. Now what?

    Need some help on a pattern that uses 16 FQs. I have 2 FQs of Tula Pink's Arcacia fabrics (8) different fabrics. I really want to showcase the raccoons but other than that have no ideas what to make.
    looking at QB friends and expertise.
    thanks

    There are a few of her quilts here that use larger pieces for the raccoons: https://www.pinterest.com/grandmahel...lts-tula-pink/

    So many patterns have instructions for fat quarter. Great fabrics. Check Google:

    I'm thinking snow ball blocks using the other fabrics for the corner triangles.

    The first thing that comes to mind is boxed squares...like these at Mary Quilts. You could use the raccoon in the center, and use whatever size strip to go around them from the other fabrics.

    Any block that has a center block large enough to fussy cut . For instance, Ohio star, log cabin, center of a Dresden plate, square in a square, nine patch, etc. Love to fussy cut just about everything. It makes a block much more interesting! Love to see what you come up with!

    Hi, Nanny's dollface
    There is a wonderful tutorial title- "Modern Collage Art Quilt" on youtube by Sew very easy "Laura Ann Coia" she shows you how to show off your fat quarters, this will at least give you an idea.

    I have three books on just using Fat Quarters. Look it up on Amazon or Google.
