I’ve been sorting through my fat quarter collection today, looking for those odd, lonely ones that don’t really match anything and never get chosen for a quilt top.
My cutting table is actually clear today, so I thought I’d take advantage of that happy occasion to do all my cutting at one time. 😉
I’ve paired the FQs with some plain fabrics that are a close-enough match, and I’m cutting them into 5-inch squares and 2.5-inch strips for some easy two-colour blocks and 9-patches for donation quilts. They are starting to look very bright and cheerful! Maybe they have finally found their perfect home.
If you go to Judy’s blog, you can see what other quilters have on their design walls today, too.
Happy Quilting!

Good idea!
Good idea for busting up those odd FQs. I think we all have some. I need to find a couple easy quilt patterns to work on some donation quilts since I have a bunch of donated plaids to work on…

I have TONS of FQ, lol. It’s a big challenge since you can only really do scrap quilts. It’s a good thing I love scrap quilts, lol.
I need to do that–the odd, lonelies need to find friends and become a quilt. Great stashbuster.
Great job cutting into your fat quarters! I am determined that some of my odd-ball fats are going to find their way into 16 patch quilt blocks this coming year. Cheers! Evelyn
