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.

I Spy Unicorns Quilt By: Polly @ Helping Little Hands, Washington, USA I’ve enjoyed making a lot of I-Spy quilts lately. This one is for my new niece, Avalon.

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!

Quilt size: width: 70" height: 83" |

Paul’s ‘Big Boy’ Quilt By: Julie Fukuda, Japan When I learned that my #1 grandson’s baby quilt was too small, I went through my stash of greens and blues and cut a selection of squares and rectangles for “take-along work”.

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.

Quilt size: width: 95" height: 101" |

Soiree Quilt By: Elizabeth Garner, Texas, USA I made this quilt with a Moda Lila Tueller Soiree honeybun.

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.

Can you smell the freash cut grass? :) Quilt size: width: 78" height: 86" |

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. They remind me of feed sack prints. The tiny baby dolls, bears and flowers will look so sweet in her new room when she arrives home. Can you guess her name? Quilt size: width: 40" height: 40" |
 |
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. I pieced it together so that the squares alternated. I backed it with gray minky dot and free motion quilted it with a wood grain design. Quilt size: width: 33" height: 50" |
 |
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" |
I have about 50 – they are bundled together by colors! thanks you. The quilts this week are inspiring!
Goodness – when I first started quilting I went FQ crazy. Sooooo I have a lot – like more than 500! They are sorted by color and I keep them in 3 storage units that are actually stackable cubbies meant to hold shoes – made of pressed board & painted white. Love to open that closet door & see all those pretties!
I’m just newly FQ crazy, so I’ve got about 150 FQs in my stash. I haven’t found a way to systemize them yet, I keep them in their respective collections.
Unfortunately, due to an income that is almost non exsistant and cancer (chemo isnot going well). I dont have a stash but i do love reading about other quilters stash. babscorbitt@gmail.com
I love seeing the quilts each week!
Not many fat quarters yet as i am fairly new at this,maybe 25 and arrange according to color.
I mostly keep the collections or designers together. If I have yardage I sort that in colors.
My stash contains about 2500 different fabrics. Lots of them are leftovers from my Friends. I mainly buy fat quarters, sometimes fat eights if they are available. Since I live in the Netherlands, quilting fabric is quite expensive here. My fabrics are my paint, my quilts are paintings. :-)
Wow! have never thought about counting my fat qtrs., and would have to take a guess …mmmmh? 300+ and no, they are not sorted by color. I have one bin w/cat ones, 1 bin w/30’s repro, and 1 drawer w/flowers…then ???
I just recently started quilting, but I went absolutely nuts buying fabric so I have about 200+ FQs. (We won’t even mention the layer cakes and yardage…it’s really getting ridiculous!) I store them by color in a shoe organizer of all things; unless I bought a bundle for a specific project, then they go in a clear plastic box with the other items needed for that project until I am ready to use them…however, I am running out of room so The Hubs is going to build me a storage cabinet with glass doors for my new found addiction! (It’s going to be my Mother’s Day present from him and the furbabies!)
Some beautiful designs here. Each quilt is like a visual story of experiences being presented in artfully thought out color patterns. In others words, so cool!
I finally organized my FQs and scraps into big plastic drawers sored by color. Bad thing – now I don’t want to “mess them up”. Creativity and messiness go hand in hand for me, I guess.
I think I have about 20 fat quarters now. Most of them are cut into probably for various things. I have my fabrics stored in one very large bin that is certainly not the easiest way to find that right fabric in a hurry!
It’s hard to pick a favourite ; )
I probably have 50-60 in clear plastic shoe boxes. I am starting to buy fq’s instead of yardage. That way I get more of a varied stash.
I think I have between 70 and 80. I have my family and friends trained to give me fat quarters for all gifting occasions. They are all stored in shoeboxes and more or less organized by color.
I have a couple hundred organized by color.
I like to get the FQ Bundles…kinda new to quilty world…helps that they are co-ordinated for me…& store them bundles together on my shelf (a bookcase)…then add colors or print when ready to use them. :)
I have no idea how many FQ I have–a lot and they are everywhere. I’m really bad. I intend on getting them organized one of these years.
Oh my. I honestly don’t know how many. A whole lot, I have been quilting for almost 38 years. The ones that I bought as a collection are still together. As for the others. they are where ever I can stash them. I hope to be more organized when I move into my new sewing room (wait – that sewing studio).
Beautiful jilts!
such beautiful quilts. My husband says I have too many fat quarters does this give a hint to how many I have? Honestly I’ve never counted them. I organize by color.
I have to admit that I didn’t count how many FQs I have but I guess about 200. I made cardboard boxes especially for FQs that fit perfectly on the shelves in the cupboard where I store fabrics.
I probably have about 300 and I keep them stored in a fabric bag that has a vinyl top. That way I can see all the colors without having to open the bag.
Not organized, ever and I have about 50 fat quarters. I keep all my fabric in glass front door cabinets. I can see it but it’s a mess.
I guess I must have around 500 fat quarters in my stash and I keep them by theme; batiks, modern, Japanese, etc. in drawers. That way I can always find what I need, at least most of the time.
I love fat quarters! You have a great piece of the design. Right now I have them stacked on my shelf. I don’t have that many so I enjoy them daily!
I probably have about 50 or so. I have much more 1/2 yard increments. I just have them folded on shelves.
I have about 40 FQ’s in my stash. I am a member of our LQS and get a free fat quarter every month. I choose mostly batiks for my freebie of the month.
I’d guess about 60, organized by color. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I have about 30 fat quarters as part of my fabric collection.
I have about 60 FQ and I arrange them by color. Thanks for the giveaway. Great quilts submitted as always.
I have about 250 fat quarters and they just stored randomly in a tote
Really hard to choose! :)
I have approximately 100 fat quarters and they are strewn randomly in my sewing room because I haven’t organized my room in over a year. I keep meaning to get in there and organize but I haven’t done it yet.
I have about 30. I have them in a storage container stored by collection/color.
I would think I have 150 fat quarters, but it is hard to tell since I have them in various places. If they came together then I keep them bundled. But others are folded in plastic boxes.
I have about 60 fat quarters. I have them organized by color and either print or solid. I use CD stackers, each slot will hold 2 fat quarters. I fold them into squares and insert a small piece of cardboard to make them stiff. Works really well, each CD stacker hold about 50 fat quarters. :)
I have about 300 fq’s. they are stored in bundles on shelves, and in a few various containers: by project. :)
I Would Guess Around 200 . They Are Mixed In With Their Fabric Type…Civil War, tThirties, Thimbleberries, Batiks, Florals, Hand Dyes ,Ect
More fat quarters than I can count. I store most of them by color, but if I have a collection that I plan on using together, I keep them together.
I would hate to count them! Some I keep as collections as I just can’t bare to split them up and others are by colour.
I probably have about 100 sorted by colour. I tend to buy 1/2 yards as I find them more useful as I might want to cut binding from it.
I have a bundle of fat quarters in Christmas fabrics, that I think has ~20 in the bundle. I do love fat quarters and used to buy them at random, to add to my stash. I’ve gone thru that part of my stash and now just purchase fat quarters in bundles.

I guess I have about 150, sorted by color
I would have to guess that I have about 300. Yikes! That’s way too many for this quilter’s stash. I’m going to have to sponsor a giveaway soon!
Mmmmm, maybe I have about 200 fat quarters and they are arranged by color…
hugz
Ouch! Several hundred for sure. I have about 12 to 15 fat quarter bundles I haven’t even opened. I leave them in the bundles until I start a project, and then I have boxes or the plastic art bin carries for each project…..plus about 4 or 5 bins of fat quarters by color. Why too many that’s for sure.
Gorgeous quilts this week. I have no idea of the number of fat quarters that I have in my stash, at least 300. I love making scrap quilts so I mostly buy fat quarters. They are stacked on shelves by colour.
I actually have no idea – but it would be in the hundreds easily. I have them folded and stacked on shelves in colour groups.
