My fantastic idea is to use them in quilts and stop buying. I have slowed down my buying but haven't really stopped. I was looking for something under the desk where I make cards last night and found 20 more fat quarters down there. oops.

This is made from fat quarters and is made from a free pattern that came in the mail. It looks like a 4 patch made from hst with white corners. Does anyone have the pattern and would share it? It works up really pretty. The name of the pattern is Cumberland. Check out this picture.

Yes, definitely scrappy quilts. Have you checked out Bonnie Hunts website http://quiltville.com/starstruck.shtml with many free patterns?
That is the pattern I am currently using to make a quilt with FQ. When you scroll down on the left there are many patterns under Scrappy Quilts.
What I also do is make a two tone quilt and just use all lets say blue fat quarters and all yellow fat quarters and then add a pretty border with blue and yellow in it.

Both the pink and purple based delectable mountain pattern from Quilt Ville

Part of these blocks were from a swap. Dutchman's Puzzle block off Quilter's Cache
