Purses, totes, makeup bags, wallets. During the hot months I move from making quilts to smaller items, buying fat quarter collectionns or quilt kits on clearance is a great way to get fabric for smaller projects thats already co-ordinated. I get quilt kits a lot of times with no intention of making the pattern that comes with it. Most times I get awesome fabric at a great price.

I really like FQ. It enables me to have all fabrics from a line. I make pretty much make any and every quilt with FQ. I do sometimes add yardage for a border or sashing.

Civil war tribute and other reproduction FQ plus yardage for border, setting triangles and sashing.

Haven't bought a FQ. The regular quarter yd works for me.

I have only used them if a pattern calls for them (table runner) other than that I get them for applique, in our area you can get 1/2 yd cuts at some places for just a bit more $ so I buy 1/2 yds.
