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. 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.

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 probably have 50 FQs. I keep all my fabric sorted by color and they are mixed in with that.
I have well over 2000 fat quarters and they are mostly stored in an old metal check filing cabinet. I like scrappy quilts so FQs work perfectly for me.
I have about 100 and they are sorted by colour and stored in a tall slim DVD cabinet.
I LOVE fat quarters! I probably have between 200 and 300 (I’m relatively new at quilting). They are arranged by colour, batik and then novelty (where choosing one colour is impossible!)
Way too many fat quarters to count – 200 plus? They are arranged by both collections and color.
Love the bargelo was really pleaseing to the eye
I have about 300 FQs. I use hanging shoe organizers and dresser drawers to help keep them orderly.
Love,love..too many to count have to pull out my hidey holes.Some would call us quilters hoarders..ha ha ha..NEVER enough fabric.
I wanted to count them so bad but way too many. …Hundreds! I use them for baby quilts – applique – anything quilty.
Thanks! Lynn
I have 50 fat quarters and TRY to keep them sorted by color. I keep them on display in my mom’s old hutch that I use as my sewing storage. I loved my mom and love quilting. It makes me happy to open the doors and and smell the double pleasure of my mom’s kitchen and fabric.
my wife has abunch,they are everywhere..great quilts
I didn’t count them but I did recently organize them by color groups and it filled up the tall CD shelves over my desk…so I guessing 75 or more…LOL
LOVE LOVE LOVE FQs!!! Such a fab way to try different colors and patterns without breaking the bank…unless you buy a FQ from each bolt in the shop!!
I must have at least 100 fat quarters. My whole stash is arranged primarily by color, but some fabrics — batiks, holiday, tonals, and solids — are separated from the rest and also arranged by color.
I have at least 30 FQs in my stash, maybe more! I sort them by project. I don’t always know the project, but I by my FQs in bundles to go together in a project.
Probably around 100 – organised by colour (sort of!!)
I have too many fat quarters to count! Most of them are batiks.
How many? Likely hundreds! I have no idea. They are mostly organized in see through drawer units by color. Some I keep in small wooden crates on my desk for design inspiration. Have a super day!
I probably have around 30 fat quarters , I do love them , they are so versatile . Thanks for the chance,
The number of FQ’s… that’s a hard question. I have probably somewhere between 50 and 75 individual FQs in my stash. I organize them in two different ways – 1) if they are part of a specific fabric line I will keep the fabric line together, and 2) if they are individual pieces (not part of a set) I sort them by color/value.
I have about 150 fat quarters in my stash all organised in by color
I have over one hundred fat quarters in my stash and they are sorted by collection – fall prints, novelty, paisley, flannel, homespun, etc. Each collection in their own plastic storage container so I can look at them and dream of projects…..
I group all my fabrics by color in plastic storage drawers. But when I am working on a project thery explode over all available surfaces
I have about 40 fat quarters in my stash, I just used several in a project. I try to keep them organized in plastic shoe sized boxes on my shelf. I try to separate them by color.
I have an insane amount of fabric and about 35% of it is fat quarters – I do a lot of baby and lap quilts so fat quarters works well. I just love fabric. I have an 8’x8′ cube piece that I use to store fabric, it is full.
I probably have 200 or so and file them on edge in an under-bed storage tote.
I guess I own about 60 FQ and keep them stacked by colour.
Lord help us all!!! I’ve no idea how many fat quarters I have as I tend to buy in three yard increments which would equal twelve fat quarters were it cut that way. Needless to say, I have lots of three yard cuts…lots and lots…
I tend to organize my fabric by style, i.e. ’30s, Thimbleberries, Civil War, etc. and then by color within those styles. I tend to assign a “feel” to my fabrics and haven’t arrived at the point where I can look at fabric as just a color rather than at the pattern.
I actually don’t have a lot of FQ’s. I have tons of scraps though. I think right now I probably have about 15 FQ’s and I use them in everything I do, which is why I’m running out! I am cutting 5″ squares for a CW quilt I am making right now.
I keep them in a fabric basket that I had made :)
How do I even begin to count??? And organize???
A hundred? More? Mostly organized by color family. Sometimes organized in groups ready to put together for a quilt once I decide what pattern I’ll use.
Too many to count! I arrange all my fabric according to colour.
I don’t have many… still building my stash!
I have around 75-100 they are arranged in kits to be made the rest are by colour or theam
I have at least two big deep drawers full of fat quarters. Let’s say close to 300 and they are organized by color. Thanks so much!
Believe it or not…..I only have about 5 fat quarters!
I would estimate that I have about 50 fat quarters right now. I organize them by type (batik/children’s/floral/etc) or designer, and then by color.
I have over a hundred and store them in drawers.
I have way too many fat quarters to count. Some are sorted according to color, some are in their fabric type, such as batik, civil war, 30s, etc. and some are still in the coordinating bundle they came with. They are so fun to buy and use.
I have about 200 – 250 fat quarters. Most are Civil War era and are all organized by color.
I’d say I probably have close to 200 fat quarters. They’re not organized at all. I mean it. I don’t have a sewing room or anywhere to set them out and do any arranging. Consequently I don’t do a whole lot of sewing either…but I do have a teenaged daughter who will be moving out to start college in the fall…can you say sewing room, boys and girls? :)
I have about 40 fat quarters or so. Some were bought as fat quarters and some are leftovers from larger yardage…do those count?
I have around 400 fat quarters. I keep fabric lines together, then sort by color and style.
I have 100 plus and sort them by type, batik, floral, tonal, etc
