Well, if you REALLY don't know what to do with them, let me know, I will send you my address. Seriously, even of you think they don't conventionally "go" together, play around with them, because if YOU like them, they go together!

Another idea might be to make color grouping quilts or squares. Put all your reds, yellows, greens, etc. together and add a neutral for contrast.
When grouped by color, all sorts of things will go together that you wouldn't think do otherwise. You can include every shade and tone, and this just adds interest to your quilt. Prints with other colors work fine too, just so the dominant color is the one you are working with. You can make a whole quilt in one color group, or you can go for a rainbow effect using blocks of different color groups. If going the rainbow route, you may not wish to include the neutral. |

When I first started out I went crazy purchasing fat quarters. Now, what do I do with them? It seems like none of them go together and I am at a loss. I did use one batch of black and white fat quarters for a backing, but my others just don't lend to that. Any ideas? HELP!!!

Try patterns at this company. All their patterns require 8 fat quarters. I love these patterns and I own about 10 different ones. They are soooooo easy to do and the instructions are easy, easy easy. You will love it. Have fun. The Pincushion Boutique
