If you do a search maybe someone has a link to the pattern

The Wicked Easy Quilt looks great for my skill level. I'm afraid it might be a bit busy. I love bright colors. Will think about it.

Check out the quilting books that are geared towards fat quarters. (Library, LQS, bookstore) either to borrow, browse or to buy.

I made a 2 baby quilts and they were a little busy, but it went together easy and quick, and looks very nice.

Their "Sweet Treats" are sets of 8 fqs, and they have many patterns that use 8 fqs plus a little yardage to make a quilt.

thanks all
My local library is really pathetic but I'll look online

You could make the "Yellow Brick Road" pattern or you could make half-square triangles. Pick a color that will go with the batiks you have and then after you've made the HST's you can play around with them as there are LOTS of different designs you can make with the half-square triangles (HST).

thanks, I'll look it up

lol

Sorry! They are so gorgeous I'll find a pattern !!.

carpentar star uses 8-fq with background and borders.
