Fat Quarter Patterns
 

I need help. I have over 85 fat quarters and half of them are Kansas Troubles. I need a nice pattern to use some of them up. Do you have a favorite fat quarter pattern?

I found a site where all of the patterns (24, I think) are using fat quarters. This is the 3rd one in. I had to look at a picture of the fabric -- and it is Christmasy, right. This pattern looks good for that.

What is the website?

Maybe try here

Try the Pincushion Boutique. They carry patterns by Pressed for Time which specialize in using fat quarters. I have several of their patterns and love them all.

Thanks for showing this site. I see lots of patterns that I like. I have way too many fat quarters, and I'd better get using them!

Thanks for the thread and thank you all for the links. Looking for table runner patterns and found some. You all are the best. BrendaK

what about Yellow Brick Road? easy, quick, and uses fat quarters.

yep....very easy..I like this pattern when you need to make something fast.

....or the Turning Twenty patterns?

I have made a lot of quilts from M'Liss Rae Hawley's 2 books: Fat Quarter Quilts & More Fat Quarter Quilts. Her instructions are really good and my favorite part is that she gives pressing directions.

Here are several free fq patterns. Some are small quilts but just by making more blocks could make a large quilt. I accidentally started this on page 2 of 24 so just click "Previous" and you will see the first option.

i just finished this one and it's free. http://www.byannie.com/media/images/...s_patterns.pdf

I like Fat Friday. Once you make your quilt, all of your leftover pieces make a small Candy Bar quilt. It's a great pattern and one of my favorite FQ quilts, not to mention its quick to put together.

I just finished that one too, super easy

I love the patterns from Anka's Treasures. Her patterns are easy to follow and are so fun. I have several of her books. Fat Quarter 5 is one of my favorites. I've made 3 of the 5 quilts from that one so far, but many of her patterns work from fqs.

Thanks all for these sites!

Nearly anything by Terry Atkinson works well with fat quarters.

Had to chuckle when I read this post.........I know that I have lots of fat quarters..........sooooo I went and counted what I had (all in a special area) and came up with 1085. Most of them are one of a kind........not many duplicates. Now, what am I going to do with all of them? Don't know, maybe I'll just treat them like art...and enjoy looking at them. :):)

Are you serious Old Hen? 1085?? Amazing.

If my memory serves me there is a pattern called "seeds of time". That is a freebie on the net, it used Kansas troubles is I think it is maybe a log caching type pattern.

I also think that Kansas troubles would be great in courthouse steps and fatquarters would work great.
I can see Kansas troubles making a great nine patch too.

Wow, what great information. Everytime the BF & I visit Joann's he walks out with fq's. He picks them for color only! I have a alot of them! Drives me crazy sometimes.

my favorite fat quarter quilt is "Yellow Brick Road" each one looks so different, unless you are familiar with the patter you don't recognize it, and there is the "Turning Twenty"

Laundry Basket Quilts has lots of scrappy quilts.

There are numerous FQ patterns out there and I have the following books that I really like. Good luck.

5-10-15+ Fat Quarters by Jeanne Stauffer and Elisa Sims Albury
Fat Quarter Quilts - M'Liss Rae Hawley
Fast Quilts from Fat Quarters by Barbara Chainey

I recommend Eleanor Burns Quick Trip Quilts book. The Quick Quarter pattern uses all fat quarters. Bigger quilts use more fat quarters. I did a queen that used 28 fat quarters + fabric for the borders. I love that pattern and have made several more in smaller sizes.

Am I the only one that buys fat quarters to have the colors I want for log cabins?

There are so many FQ books - Hawley, Karen Snyder, etc. Try going to your local library to see what they on the shelves.

Yellow Brick Road. Just made one from KT fabric & other in same colorway for sis in law. turned out realyy nice. Have made many YBR & depending on fabric all look different.

here is a site for a 10 minute block that can be done with FQ's

You all wound up helping me too. I have to make 2 quilts, quickly. Thought I would do the d9p for one and now I'm thinking Yellow Brick Road for the other. Have fqs so I'm ready to go Thanks for all the suggestions to me also.

It's my favorite for quick & easy, but I also am starting to like the stuff over at the Moda Bake Shop. I'm not sure how to search for just the FQ patterns (does anyone else know how?) but there are dozens of really good ones here!

I hear you ! God knows how many I have, oh well, too late now. I do love them even though I don't know what I'll be doing with them yet.

I have quite a few fat quarter books by M'Liss Rae Hawley that just need 7 or 8 fat quarters, border fabric and sometime background fabric. She has some awesome quilts.

Has anyone mentioned the Wickedly Easy Quilt? http://www.byannie.com/media/images/...s_patterns.pdf

It is a good one!

Almost all my stash is made up of Fat Quarters. I buy big pieces for the back and 1 1/4 pieces for borders. If I want the sashing all the same I might need more for that. I devide the stack up into light and darks and then color groups and do pretty much any pattern. The first quilt has additonal sashing and border fabrics of the same fabric as my dauhgter in law was not as comfortable with all scrappy quilts. This along with the setting triangles being all the same colors gave it enough uniformity for her.

Anna, your quilts are amazing! Inspiration for all of us on how to use our fat quarters.

I suggest you go to the Kansas Troubles website for ideas. I'm a huge KT fan...just picked up the new for Fall charm squares packet Harvest Moon. I'm anxious to turn it into a table runner if anyone has any suggestions for a pattern.

Yellow brick road is the one that comes to mind...

Fat quarters that are Kansas Troubles? I thought KT was quilt block pattern.
