    At my house, anything 1/2 yard or more is considered yardage - not scraps - and is folded and put into plastic boxes as are my fat quarters.

    Turning Twenty is a good pattern. It wakes 20 fat quarters.

    Go to u-tube, check out 10 minute quilt blocks. They make up fast and look nice. Use any size block you want. She uses 10 inch and finished block is 18 in.

    Bonnie Hunter's 4th of July is a quick, easy pattern using 3.5" and 6.5" squares. It's a small lap size. There are a few others in her free pattern section are pretty simple and/or small and don't use tiny pieces.

    [QUOTE=peaceandjoy;6115109]Sorry, should have mentioned - Although all are scrappy, in 1st (Carolina Christmas) and 3rd (Easy Street), I used strips cut per Bonnie's Scrap User's System as well as fat quarters. Variety is the spice of life, and of my quilts! Recently, I had to make a project using only 4 fabrics and not only found it difficult, I didn't care for the end result!


    I LOVE the colors you used for Easy Street. I used the recommended colors and found I disliked the quilt immensely. I've renamed it Hot Green Insanity! I do love following Bonnie's mystery instructions, but going forward I"m going to wait until the finish before I begin so I can better control my colors. oh and so I can also fast piece flying geese!

    Look for fat quarter friendly patterns , that should give you lots of ideas.

    A twister quilt might work as well.

    I'm with the Bonnie Hunter crew-sew many quilts, sew little time! she has awesome free patterns and tons of photos. Use bitty pieces and bigger scrap pieces...
