You can never, ever, have too many fat quarters. There is always something to do with them. Mix them with solids you may have, you can create a marvelous holiday table runner utilizing colors that would go for that holiday (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Chanukah, Valentines day, etc.).
If you feel there are too many taking up space in your home, I shall send you my address and they can take up residency along with all of mine, that seem to like being here. (LOL)

I sort them in like colors and then when a quilt calls for yardage in a particular color, I pick out enough fat quarters to make up the yardage. Having a greater variety of fabrics in your quilts, even in the same color family can give a quilt interest and texture. I always use at least 20+ fabrics in most of my quilts.
