Fat quarters

I bought a package of 5 fat quarters. they are absolutely adorable but I'm not sure what I can do with only 5 fat quarters. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Find coordinating fabric and buy yardage to make a bigger quilt. Have fun.

I love to make different mug rugs and FQs are a good choice for them

There is a pattern at Joann's called "Cheaper by the half dozen". It calls for 6 fq. When the 5-packs of fq are on sale
I buy one and then find a coordinating fabric that I can use as the 6th fq and also a border. It makes a very good
size (and inexpensive) quilt for charity.
