i use FQ in scrappy quilts, i also use them in the block of the month swap here on the board, also in the doll quilt swap. Humbug bags are fun to make and a FQ makes a good sized one. Snap bags are another good thing to make.

I made their straightlaced pattern it is absolutely beautiful in teal and purple asian fabrics from northcott. their kits are very reasonable too. I bought 1 from a show, also they were very helpful in getting me the info on the fabric line when I wanted to make something else

This used to be me - but now that I started making totes from charms I'm finding myself using up all of those collections of FQ's...especially the coordinating ones.

So obviously my answer would be totes...pictures on my blog...

Love, love, LOVE your bargellos!!!

That was meant for Wendysquilts -- her bargellos, esp. the water one with the fish swimming through, is one I'd love to have!! Great job, Wendy!

I just finished piecing together a twisted bargello made from 20 FQs. My LQS had the class taught by an amazing instructor with great tips for tackling this project; it wasn't nearly as tough as I thought is would be, just time- and work-intensive. Who knew 20 FQs could produce such a great project!

10 Minute block...if you reduce the size to 9", you can get four blocks (most of the time)

small bargello ...table runner, wall hanging

D9P
