I understand - gave most of my older FQ's away the first of the. Unfortunately I love fabric/FQ and am finding myself collecting them again. A little more picky this time.
|
Just how many is waaay too many?
I gave up counting mine. But I would never consider getting rid of them. Used FQ in my avatar quilt and cut up the leftovers for scrappy quilts. |
I know what you mean buying too many fat quarters. I bought a LOT of green fat quarters and quarter yards for the scrappyish Winding Ways quilt I'm making for my boyfriend. I wanted some variety so I kept buying stuff I thought looked good or added contrast to another fabric. Then, while still buying fabric, I thought about putting in a border...that's when it hit me I probably had enough fabric for the blocks plus a scrappy pieced border. And then possibly then some.

A "SUDOKU" quilt would be neat.
And exactly how many is tooo many? I can PM you my address. :oops: :lol: Just kidding! |
time to start GIFTING them....join our monthly Secret Swaps!

I just made a "jigsaw puzzle" scrap quilt with tons of FQ sized leftover pieces. I got a free pattern on-line and it was fun and easy to make.

Thanks for your opinions. Second of all -- scappy is great! M'Liss Rae Hawley has a few fat quarter books which have patterns specifically for fat quarters, with 1 fabric to tie it together -- usually in a boarder. Good Luck! |
I have 12 shoeboxes of fat quarters. I use them for accents (something to make a block POP), applique and once or twice have used them for scrappy binding.

Goodness! Send them to ME, of course!! ;-)
