Fat quarter pattern
Lookig for fast, easy pattern, aren't we all, using fat quarters. Plan to use pattern to make interesting backings for charity quilts.
|
I think there are a whole bunch of Fig Tree Quilts patterns that are intended for fat quarters. Also, at Fat Quarter Shop, you can search specifically for fat quarter patterns in their patterns section.
|
Since you're looking to simply make the backs more interesting, you could just randomly sew the FQ's together. Remember not to create long, vertical seams that cause problems for a longarmer - those roll up and create uneven tension in the quilt. Also, don't ask the longarmer to center the back or line up seams/blocks. That's nearly impossible to do and creates more work for them.

I've made several "ugly quilts" using this video. Start at 4 minutes in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RePQz1eN5Ko&t=363s

This is a free pattern from Fat Quarter Shop that I just finished. It uses fat eights but has you cut them into 7 1/2" x 20" pieces, sew 4 together and make flip cut, sew together and you have a finished block. I made the throw size and it came together in an afternoon. I'm going to be cutting a lot of my scraps up to this size. https://www.fatquartershop.com/fat-e...t-quarter-shop.
