WHAT DID I DO!
ACK I purchased 41 assorted fat quarters which came today. I am overwhelmed! I usually go to the fabric store and pick out fabric for a specific quilt - mostly traditional stuff. Well, here are all these fabrics, 1 fat quarter of each, and I haven't a clue. With all the quilts that I have made I can honestly say none of them were ever dark. I love most of the fabric but how do I work them all into a FQ quilt? Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions? Pleeeeeeeeeeease?????? -- Boca Jan Florida - Land of the Hurricanes http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/poo_de_doo/myphotos

What are they exactly - dark colours?
My immediate answer would be string piece them into "fabric" to be cut into large simple blocks, make scrappy log or half-log cabin quilts, or crazy quilts What about some of the "classic" scrap or FQ patterns? - YBR, Peace in the Valley, Turning Twenty, etc or this is a favourite over here http://www.qheartland.com/pd_12.cfm Have fun deciding lol -- Cheryl & the Cats in OZ o o o o o o ( Y ) ( Y ) ( Y ) Enness Boofhead Donut http://community.webshots.com/user/witchofthewest catsatararatATyahooDOTcomDOTau "Boca Jan" wrote in message ... : : ACK I purchased 41 assorted fat quarters which came today.

There ya go! I knew you could get my mind working again. LOL BTW, are you
familiar with Australian fabric by Loralie Designs? My LQS is getting in brand new stuff from Australia, and this is the first designer. All pink stuff, great for baby and children's quilts, but I like the designs. -- Boca Jan Florida - Land of the Hurricanes http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/poo_de_doo/myphotos "CATS" wrote in message ...

Well, would you like to put them all in your car and drive up toward Eustis
and we could work on this project all this week end. If it doesn't get done, you could just leave it here for me to worry about! Barbara in Central FL Land of the Killer Tornadoes

Make scrappy! Pick a design you wanted to do anyway. Sort your FQs -if you
can sort them into color groupings that are more or less the same value for each color, that's great. Otherwise, sort into light, medium, dark. Then cut your light, medium and dark pieces without worrying about color, just value. Assemble the blocks, making the fabric combinations as random as possible. You might need to buy (or shop your stash) for e.g. one light that will tie it all together. It will be a wonderful quilt with lots of movement. And if you don't like it, just send it to me!
