I love the quilts that are made from FQ, like Turning 20 etc. There are several books on them. You might want to try one.

Oh Dear! That is MY weakness. I can't RESIST fq's. I love scrappy quilts. I don't usually buy yardage in fabric. Just when I need my backings.

I used to buy lots of FQ but unless I know exactly what I am using them for I find a FQ just isn't enough to do most things. I ran into that yesterday with a table runner. Now I'm stuck with none of the fabric I need left.

I love to buy FQ. I always use them, scrappies, baby quilts, and the list goes on!

NO problem for me ! I usually buy yds or 1/2 yd min, but I'm still like a kid in a candy store when I see good FQ. There are a lot of good patterns & books out for using them, that should solve your "problem" !! :)

I often buy FQ when they are on sale. I have quite a stash. The only problem is I sometimes wish I had more of a fabric to use on another project.

I love FQ. If it's fabric I love I'll buy it by the yard. I make a lot of scrappy quilts so FQ work fine.

Fat quarters can be fun, but they are generally so expensive! If they are on sale or I just can't help myself, well...

No problem here. I do a lot of applique and paper piecing, and so small pieces are always used.
