A Squarey Quilt By: Persimon Dreams, Wisconsin, USA This squarey quilt is one of the first five quilts I ever made…I started with BIG quilts.

Lauryn’s Doll quilt By: Reese, Maine, USA This is a doll quilt that my 8 year old daughter pieced out of some blocks I had put in my scrap bin.

Log Cabin for Log Cabin By: Mary Manson, North Carolina, USA My uncle asked me to make a quilt for his log cabin in the mountains, so the log cabin pattern just made sense!

sea crystal + plaid By: Sarah @ {no} hats, Indiana, USA The tartan side of this double-sided* quilt started out as a b&w sketch composed on an airline tray table during a flight to San Francisco last fall.

Shenandoah Colors By: Debbie, South Carolina, USA I tried to capture the memories and colors seen on a late summer trip to the Shenandoah Valley.

Spring Breeze By: Ritamae, Missouri, USA This is the first dissapearing 9 patch I made, the second quilt I ever made. I just really think of spring when I see it.

Summertime Picnic By: Cynthia Brunz Designs, Oregon, USA I made and quilted this quilt about two years ago. It is used as my picnic quilt. I love how it is always a conversation starter when used at outdoor venues like concerts, etc. The pattern is actually a simple rail fence and the color placement of the blocks create the woven pattern. Super fu Quilt size: width: 72" height: 72" |
 |
Sweet Aubree By: Lisa Johnson, West Virginia, USA I made this quilt for our good friends baby girl due in May. The “Aunt Grace” prints will be good for her eyes to learn to focus.

 |
The Man Quilt By: Lea Brummett, Indiana, USA This quilt was made because my husband asked me if I had any fabric that wasn’t girly. So with some scraps and what little neutral fabric I found in my stash I made this “Man Quilt” Quilt size: width: 65" height: 80" |

Timber and Leaf Baby Quilt By: Jessica @ A Bushel and A Beck, Missouri, USA I used Timber and Leaf by Sarah Watts with solid gray to make 9 patch squares and then cut them in quarters.

 |
Torii By: Claire Alexander, Oregon, USA During my daughter’s three years in Japan, she sent me some used kimono silk, and I visited. My interest in the Torii that guard temples prompted the design of a velvet Torii against the silk. The pieces really are rectangles–any apparent curves are the slippery silk getting out of control. Quilt size: width: 10" height: 10" |
 |
Variation on Square in Square for Jenny By: Debbie Lange, Indiana, USA Jenny requested a fun and funky quilt. I decided to make it scrappy with bright colors. Pattern is my original adaptation of Judy Martin’s Big Bear Log Cabin. Her quilt was 54″ by 54″, I increased it to 77.5″ by 88.5″ to fit Jenny’s bed.

What Cancer Cannot Do. By: Deb V., New York, USA Every year I donate a quilt to the Relay for Life team for a 16 yo girl that I work with – she’s doing wonderful.

Woven Together By: Nellie Durand, Tennessee, USA Made of chambray and the only fabric I’ve ever hand-dyed. I came up with the pattern by playing with the trimmed off selvage edges from the dyed muslin … weaving them together like string potholders. Quilt size: width: 60" height: 60" |
20/30? Organized? Ha… I need help!
Since I am fairly new to quilting I only have two fat quarters right now. When I decide what project I want to work on that is when I purchase my fabrics. One of these days I will have a stash.
I couldn’t begin to count them – they’re in a recycled sports locker in stacks, by PROYGBIV (with separate sections for White, Brown, Grey, Black, and Undefineable).
Hahha, do I really have to answer this? Uhhh probably about 400 fat quarters…plus yardage. What can I say? I love fabric! I organize them by color for tones and by theme otherwise. Thanks for the chance to satisfy my fabric hunger. :)
I have too many fat quarters to count them! I organize them by collection or color family.
I have approx 100 fat quarters. Right now I have them organized by color in a wooden shoe holder.
No one ever said “Tell me Mr. Van Gogh, how many tubes of paint do you have?” My FQs are my tubes of paint so I don’t count! Some FQs are loosely organized by style, some by colour and some are happiest just nestled with a bunch of others with no rhyme or reason as to why they are there!
I have hundreds of FQ that are organized in small tubs!
I am sure if I was honest, I have hundreds along with many yards of other fabric. I have them all organized by type and then by color.
virgin FQ? (The ones you have never cut into pieces….?) I guess I have 3. No, I know for sure. I am just a beginner and still use all the fabric I should hide.
i have about 10 to 20 fat quarters. Most of mine are a quarter yard but not the fat variety. I have about 5 boxes that are like shoe boxes but aren’t. They are awesome for storing quarter to half yards.
I have 100+ FQs, likely more since it is the cut of fabric I prefer to purchase for scrappy quilt making. I generally organize my entire stash, FQs and yardage by color and special theme (1930s, 1800s, black & white, etc).
I have over 200 FQ’s, I guess. Most were bought separately, and are in baskets on a shelf. The rest were purchased in bundles, and are tied together, so they are just on a shelf. If I have plans for a bundle, they are in a project bag with the pattern, awaiting their turn to star in a quilt!
I love fat quarters. Have about 100 organized by color on open shelves inside a cabinet (. Because I also enjoy just seeing them)
My fat quarters are organized by colour. How many? Um…….maybe 50? Maybe more? I’m still building my stash.
I think I have about 20, if not a little more, and I sort them by colour into my normal fabric stash boxes :)
Way too many. I have always loved fat quarters. I love getting just a taste of fabric. c.teasley@yahoo.com
Way to many, I am not sure I could count them all. I kind of have a problem. Organization? Does throwing them, I mean folding and stacking nicely, in a bin count?
Hundreds all by color on shelves my honey built for me.
HELLO! I’m a Beginner Quilter, so I can tell you about 100 and they are stored in the most beautiful wooden cabinet of 6″x6″ spaces which my DH built for me! I do love fabric,so I’m sure to buy more!
Happy Stitching all !
I just counted my FQs last week, and I have 12 gaboons, give or take a bazillion. They’re sorted by either batik, theme, Kaffe-like, wild, or sorta tone-on-tone-ish, where they’re sorted by color.
way to much my husband says
I have no idea how many fat quarters I have in my stash. I am currently putting all my fabrics onto comic card bolts.
I have about 150 fats stored by color and special prints (like repros) and stored in a Ikea butcher block cutting table with drawers.
20 FQs in my stash. Not sorted at all. Half is in at my mom’s house and half is at mine.
I have about 50 fat quarters and have them sorted by color stored on shelves.
Oh my that’s a loaded question, if I answer it there’s evidence of my fabric hoarding! About 300…guilty, organized by line of fabric and then singles are by color. Don’t tell anyone but there’s more that are stored away with UFO’s….SHHH
I have quite a few FQ’s….some are color coordinated bundles and some are singles. I have them in a cabinet. Thanks to the Fat Quarter Shop for sponsoring this week. I forgot to enter my squares and rectangles quilt…with DH recently retired, I have trouble remembering what day it is….everyday seems like it is Saturday. Thanks for the chance! Happy stitching, Pauline
I have probably 100 or so fat quarters. I have most organized by color, but a few fabric lines (Cuzco and Simply Color) I have kept separate and organized by collection.
I would say I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 fat quarters. I organise them in 5 colour bins, just like my scraps (red/orange, yellow/green, blue/purple, neutral & mult-coloured). Thanks for the giveway?

I have very few fat quarters and they are stored with the rest of my material.
I don’t know how many. they are mixed in with all my fabric and organized by color.
I stopped counting at 999 and if they all stay in nice piles in boxes, I am very happy.
I probably have about 50 or so, as I go more for yardage. They are organized by color. My yardage is organized by type … floral, blenders, etc. Thanks for the opportunity!
My best friend and partner in crime live near each other in Australia, but we discovered we can get a good selection of fat quarters if we order online from America. Fat quarters here are priced from $5-12 each, but we have a plan. A couple of times a year, we order a scrap bag of them online. Even with postage, we still come out ahead. We don’t get to choose what we get, but we used to get 100 fq for $100. This has since been reduced to 80 fq for $100. We go in half on all the costs and then we take turns picking from the pile one at a time. We both do applique, online swaps, make bags, etc… SO FUN!! xx debbie
Hmmm, let me think…I have about 100 fat quarters but if you divide my yardage I may have a gazillion! I tend to colour code my fabrics & going from light to dark within each colour group. Fun times!
hhahhaha…. just got home from another shopping spree !!!
Around 50 at least, lol. I love fat quarters and collect ones I like when I hit the shop, easier to store and I put them in bins, on shelves and in baskets.
Debbie
Right now they are organized by FQ or not FQ. :( I hope to organize by colour when I go on holiday.
Actually, fewer than most quilters probably should. I love fabric so much that one little fat quarter just isn’t enough. I really like to make quilts using the same collection too so I always seem to need a bunch!! :)
hmmm…100s…. is that okay to admit? I have all my fabrics sorted by colors – anything fat quarter or bigger. Smaller than fat quarter goes in my scrap bins.
I have probably 100 FQs and store them by color, except for the 30s repros and novelties. They are kept separate from the rest.
Love all the quilts this week. It was hard to choose!
I would guess I have about 200 fat quarters. I could probably answer better if I knew what “organizing” means. That’s a foreign concept in my sewing room!
Since I just received a lovely PB&J fat quarter bundle from the FQS (best birthday gift ever!), my total has climbed. I’d guess I’m up around 250. I recently organized my fabric by color, and I loved both the organizing and the results.
I only have maybe around 30ish but they are mixed in with my yardage fabric by color.
I have not much FQ, only some collections from my favorite designer, in boxes.
Hello,
Not sure,never got around to seeing how many fat quarters I have.
Some wonderful quilts this week by people of all ages.
Happy days.
Bev.
I’m not so organised, i’m afraid.!
