Lucky Stars, by Atkinson Designs (my avatar). If you use a muslin or light background it will tie them together. You could use a mix and match of all your colors, or pick a specific color scheme. It takes 1 FQ plus background fabric for each block. Then you mix and match the centers/points/surrounding blocks. It's a very easy pattern to do. The background extends beyond the points and is squared before you put the borders on. No cut off points!

Here's the quilt I made.

I could help!! LOL

OK QUILTERS - I hear you!
Mea culpa! Mea "maxima" culpa!!
I guess I should have phrased it "too many fat quarters that don't match". I understand you can never have too much fabric in any size or yardage.
Thanks for all your input. Now I can start figuring out what to do.

If you at a loss, bundle some together by color, or that may blend together, and sell some bundles on this board!! If they are good prices, they will fly out!! Then you can take your riches from the sale and buy more!!!
