Quilts

what patterns did you make?

The kit I made from Keepsake Quilting, Cascades, had 18 FQs for the blocks with other fabric for sashing and border. It got me a blue ribbon at the fair last week.

Turning Twenty

me too! I love Terry Atkinson's patterns. I've made several Lucky Stars, Yellow Brick Road, Slide Show...just to name a few.

I like D9P.

Congratulations on your ribbon at the fair

sweettreat.com has a bunch of quilt patterns that can be made with 8 fat quarters

thanks, will go find the link now

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.

Collections :) I seem to collect them but rarely use them lol!

:thumbup:

Picture please!

D4P, table runners and toppers, and scrappies.

Pocket tissue holders.

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.

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.

LOVE to see picture!! Congratulations!!!

WOW - Love the xmas one!! I must say we have the sme tastes though cuz I really lke all of them except the Australian one (sorry-just my opinion - please no hurt feelings lol)

WOW, I love all of your quilts....

I love using fat quarters too. Here are a few of mine....

I actually just bought a bunch from Keepsake Quilting when they had the 40% off sale online lol...They should be here any day woohoo...I am wanting to do the Turning Twenty, Yellow Brick Road and Take 5 still...

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!

what is a D9P?

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

Quilts pot holders wallets pinchions baby bibs etc.

Thanks for the D9P answer. Good to know.

Wonder Wallets. I must have made about 250 of them so far.
I have been selling them. Everyone loves them.

Baltimore Album Applique.....

I guess I lead a sheltered life.LOL but what is a wonder wallet and can you post directions. Thanks

Would love to see pics of your wallets!!!

We did a pattern called "Beveled Blocks" in the last quilting class that I took using Fat Quarters. I don't have a picture available here right now to send. But I loved it, because I used purple and teal in the blocks. Purple being my favorite color and teal a good second.

I make these little boxy pouches with fat quarters.

Tutorial link here.

If I can figure out how to get the pictures of my wallets to my camera to my computer I will post them.

Wait, we are supposed to USE them? I thought they were for collecting and looking at and petting---silly me! :shock:
