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!

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" |

So Sophie By: Heather Darin, British Columbia, Canada I stumled on a McCall’s Quilting blog quilt along called Westward Journey and I knew I had to make it with Riley Blake’s So Sophie fabric.

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.

 |
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.

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" |
wow love the quilts and voted
I have fewer fat quarters than other precuts, but I just bought a new bundle, so I have about 60 now. I usually keep them bundled together until it’s time to use them, so that I know just where I put them. ;) The rest of my stash is kept…um…free range, shall we say.
I am embarrassed to admit that I have no idea how many fat quarters I have, but I am sure it is over 100. I do not keep them with yardage. I try to keep them uniformly folded and stacked in one of 4 places. One group is all Moda fat quarters kept in a drawer in my sewing closet, a group of black, white, and red that I have been collecting for a quilt is in a drawer in the armoire in my sewing room, a pile of miscellaneous and tone on tone are in a separate drawer, and novelty fat quarters are in a huge Rubbermaid storage box.
I have about 450. They are organised by colour and some by theme (1930’s are altogether, done by colour). All are organised in vertical CD/DVD cases, as when folded, an FQ fits perfectly in this. To see a photo – http://laren.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/stash-reorganisation.html
I’d guess I have about 300 fat quarters. I store them and all my other fabrics in boxes by color, normally. If I ever buy a fat quarter collection, then I store them in a box for collections.
I think most of my stash is made up of fat quarters. I hardly ever have yardage on hand.
There is no telling how many fat quarters I have! I have many that are stashed here and there with no organization other than they “fit” and others grouped with patterns for a future project. I have a lot of my FQs stored in the top of an old hutch with glass doors, and these are arranged by theme, color, project and/or line. They look very pretty!
I don’t have very many fat quarters. About 20 maybe. I always want more fabric than a quarter. Greedy, I guess! But I store all of my fabrics in plastic totes. You worked hard and did an awesome job organizing all those fat quarters!
I have around 100 and they are organized by color.
Fat quarters are not a thing to find in Japan. (nor are jellyrolls or packs of cut squares). I sort my fabrics by color into clear buckle boxes that stack in a hall. I cut scraps into the largest square they can make and store those in tin boxes by size.
I have maybe 23-40 fat quarters…I usually shop for yardage at 1/2, 1, 3, 5 yard amounts. Right now my fabric is arranged by size first and then color; the fat quarters are in the 1/4-1 yard boxes along with the bigger pieces.
I have about 30 FQs and I keep them on a shelf.
I started quilting with square s, and it is very interesting to see what can be achieved with a simple geometric shape, many colors and love.
All of them are beautiful to me and I barely managed to decide for whom to vote.
I was delighted to see the variety of quilts that can be created from such simple shapes. R
They are something I like to collect. I have dome with a th theme and the rest I hope to use in a crazy quilt.
I tend to buy large pieces of fabric, but do buy some fat quarters if the fabric is unique and I know I will use it, or if I love it and have no idea how I would use it. I arrange them by colour or into lines that goes together.
Wonderful quilts. I’ve voted for my favorite.

Heb niet veel fat quarters
prachtige quilts
I don`t have many Fat Quaters, but I sort my fabrics in colors.
I probably have about 150 fat quarters. I don’t have them arranged in any particular order. Single FQ I keep all together in a basket and FQ bundles along with larger cuts of fabric are kept in boxes under my sewing tables. I don’t like putting them on a shelf as I don’t want them to fade from the light coming in the window.
I probably on have 30 or so,,,and they are organized firstly by collection (if I have a bundle) and then by colour (if I don’t have a bundle).
My husband would say “way too many” – but compared to some here hardly any. I would guess about 40. I keep them in plastic shoe boxes – that way they keep clean but I can still see them and find them quite easily.
I’m sure I have at least 100 FQ’s all sorted by theme and color. Oh, and then there are the bundles that are still all tied up with company ribbon.
I have about 2 dozen fq, which I thought was a pretty good amount until I saw some people have 100s!! I sort mine by colour into plastic drawers.
I have about 45 fat quarters in a basket grouped by color; however, there are more mixed in with the rest of my stash sorted by color and/or theme.
Most of my stash is organized in plastic totes according to color and most of my stash is fat quarters. Around 500 I’d guess, but always need more! I don’t live close to a quilt shop so when I start a new project, i have to shop from my stash. Thanks for the chance.
Organize?! I do not know how many I have because my daughter helps in the buying. We pick up things “just because” and the collection just keeps growing.
I group my FQs by color and “plan.” Doesn’t always work, but I’m happy with it!
I have no idea how many. At the moment they are not really organized, but I’m working on getting them all “filed”.
I would be afraid/ashamed to count them all! Lol! They are arranged by type (batik, homespun, regular), then by color. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I have MANY fat quarters which, sadly, aren’t really organized. Some are in the bundles they came in, some are sorted by color with other stash fabrics, some are stacked with other fabrics for a planned project.
I would say I have about twenty to thirty fat quarters in my stash now. Since I have started to do appliqué and portrait quilts they are so handy to have a selection. I have them sorted by colour tones especially the facial tones they are the ones hardest to acquire. I would love to win some to add to my stash. Good luck to everyone.

I think I have 1001 Fat Quarter, because I collect fabrics for many years. I have just oranized them. I have a lot of boxes called “Fassett”, “Amy Buter”, “Scraps”, “pink”, “Dots”, “Tilda” and and and….
I´m from Germany!
HI there,
I know that I don’t have alot of Fat Quarters. So, I will guess about 75 or so. I usually sort my fabric by color so these are also placed in with the appropriate colors too.
Ruth
I’m guessing I have between 20 and 40 fat quarters. I usually buy yardage so I have more to work with. The ones I have are arranged according to color, along with the rest of my fabric. Then it’s easy to find the colors I want to use for various projects.
I’m not sure how many fat quarters I have. I don’t buy them too often but I’ll guess around 80 or 100. I do have a couple sets that I just can’t seem to cut into yet.
I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 300.I Try to organize by color but when you are pulling out it seems “someone” does not put them back in order.
I keep my fat quarters organized by color, batiks and home decs are separate. I have no idea how many I have – hundreds! I love to just look at them, touch them, smell them. Ahhhhhhhh, fabric!
I probably have around 50 fat quarters, organized by color in the cotton section of my fabrics.
I have a fairly large plastic container that keeps my fat quarters nicely. I have them arranged by color which helps when I am looking for specific colors. I would like a different system but this works for now :)
Not sure but I’d say about 30. I have them in a drawer in a plastic stand. If I had more I’d probably try to sort them but color or theme.
I have way too many to count. Everywhere I go I look for more and love to find more for my stash. It is fun to look at all the different colors and patterns and dream of new projects.
I probably have about 25 fq…not sure. I sort my fabric by genre: asian, large print, batiks etc, so I just put them where they fit.
Don’t tell my husband (but it takes up so much room I think he knows already) – I would literally have thousands of FQ’s. More than 4 cubic meters spread across more than 30 crates spread across three rooms and two additional closets. They are roughly organised by colour with different boxes for Christmas fabrics and children’s novelties. I love scrap quilting and rarely buy more than a FQ of any print, although I have been known to go really crazy and get a half metre now and then.
I’m kinda new to fat quarters, but I have a few stashed by color in fat quarter containers or on display in my sewing room. I buy them when the material makes my mouth water or for a certain project or when I just want to!
I don’t know how many fat quarters I have, maybe 50? I just put them in with my regular stash, organized by color, with the batiks arranged separately.
I have about 25 fq but I need to get more. I want to make baby quilts for the future and fq are perfect for that. I have a wooden folk art piece shaped into a birdhouse and the fq are in there and look great in my sewing room.
Love the quilts this week; they prove that quilts don’t have to be intricate to be beautiful.
I have thousands of fat quarters because they are so handy in just about every project I make, and they’re organized in clear totes on floor to ceiling shelves.
Should I count the number of FQ’s in the yardage I have stashed? LOL! Without that, I probably have about two billion FQ’s! ;) I have no idea, actually… a couple of hundred? At least they are in order… some by designer or type (modern, 30’s. CW etc.) but all by color! :D
