    Here's one that uses 10 1/4 yd cuts- http://www.rileyblakedesigns.com/cut...quilt-pattern/

    Another idea is to piece them all together for the back of the quilt but I love this fabric so if I can make a second quilt with it I will be super happy.

    I found one QB that said to use the Benartex site and the quilt name was Di Novo. Could this possibly be the one you are referring to?

    I generally buy all of my material like this as the fabric is quite expensive here. Therefore, I have discovered that any quilt can be made this way and it is more economical than buying fat quarters.

    9" x WOF is locally known as a Thin Quarter
    I googled your statement of "not fat quarters", and this link popped up.........

    I appreciate this sort of question. As soon as i have to figure out if i can use a pattern or if my fabric will work, my brain locks up. I am mathematically and geometrically challenged. I can figure it all out on graph paper or write it all out but it takes me forever and usually with many mistakes. It can take days to calculate something that takes minutes to make. Sometimes it's more trouble than i can deal with.

    I piece strips together and make binding for my quilts. I also am making crazy quilt blocks with small leftovers. Good luck.
