What a great problem to have. There are many inspring ideas on the web and in this board. There are also magazines that are devoted to scrap quilting. If you have a few that go together, make a table cover or runner. Do you have daughters/granddaughters/friends with daughters? make doll quilts. Good luck and have fun!

I have made sudoku quilts from them

Turning twenty is a great quilt to make for fat quarters.
I have made a few of them. |
Never heard of a sudoku quilt! Will have to look it up!

Im still addicted to quilting. susie

I could help!! LOL

I made a Bento Box quilt for DMIL.. I used everything from Civil War to Batiks.
As long as you can match the fabrics into pairs, you'll be just fine! DMIL's quilt when I was laying out the blocks [ATTACH=CONFIG]247170[/ATTACH] |

The pattern doesn't even use much of each FQ so you'll have plenty left over to make something else. Go for it. |
Your avitar is an lovely applique. I like fat quarters to make them. Perhaps you could plan some large plants or floral themes, or town scenes - in appliqued wall hangings to use them up?
|
The Turning Twenty patterns are great for this. There might also be some central theme you'll find in a group of the FQ.
