Ideas for 25 FQ
 

I won a FQ bundle two years ago as a Row By Row prize. It’s batiks, in a rainbow assortment which includes a black, gray and cream. I was sure that some wonderful inspiration would strike, but it’s not happened yet. Does this give anyone an idea of a pattern? I’ve refrained from using any of the squares (yes, they’re still tied in a bundle as I received them!) because I’m waiting for just the right project.

Those are beautiful fabrics. Would a Yellow Brick Road pattern work for you? There are a couple of books that I have seen published just for FQ patterns. Good luck and I will keep checking to see what everyone's ideas are.

Any of the Take 20 patterns would be great!

I think I've finally convinced myself that just because fabrics came together, they don't necessarily have to be used together. If you don't come up with a plan that involves all (or most) of these FQs, consider putting them in your stash, to be used as needed with other fabrics that don't currently have "fabric friends." That's what I'm going to do with a bunch of FQ stacks that have been together for too long.

I am thinking along the same lines as Dunster. They do not have to play together. They can be spread all over the place.

Although the fabrics are lovely, I don't think they work together all that well, so I would add them to stash and use the colors as needed in other projects. Those fat quarters can go a long way

turning 20 patterns are quick fat qtr users. But I would add some print fabrics in the color family of your bundle.

i saw a delectable mountain done in batiks and the other half in black. it was on here. maybe you can find it. it was stunning.

I would separate them by color and use them as blenders. They are beautiful but I agree they don't work well all together.

I like making samplers; so I would get 3 to 5 yards of solid black background and make a sampler. There are lots of them around the web, or you can go to Quilters Cache and choose whatever blocks you like.
