JoAnn's has a pattern called Cheaper by the half dozen. It makes a good sized quilt using only 6 fats. There's
also one called Cheaper by the dozen....

You could try small bags, tissue covers, hot pads, and there is a pattern for a table runner that uses 3 fat quarters. (Google it.)

My favorite quickie quilt is to take several coordinating fat quarters and stack them and then trim so all are the same size (about 17 x 20). Then I cut them in half (10 x 17 maybe). Then I cut 2-1/2" or 3" off top and bottom of the two stacks. Then I cut the same off the sides of each stack. Then I shuffle the leftover center section and sew the blocks together. You would end up with 12 blocks approximately 9" x 16" Then, with a little bit of sashing, I have a baby sized quilt about 45 x 42

You could make 2 Braid Table Runners, it takes 3 Fat quarters for one, or a small wall quilt.

How many fat quarters do you use? This sounds cute.

Noting your log-in name, I assume you have some furry friends. I like to take 3 FQ and make a pillow case for my favorite pets. One for each side, and one for the lip of the case. Really cute if you embroider their name on the case.
