A Squarey Quilt 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. It was meant for my brother but I just couldn’t part with it…it’s still on my bed. It utilizes hand dyed fabric (dyed by myself or my MIL) and commercial prints. I still love it to this day.

By: Kaaren Biggs,

Made from a large collection of batik fabrics, this was started at our guild’s Vice-Presidents’ Day which is held every February – the two VP’s provide the pattern and cook lunch! Somehow the collection of batiks was NOT any smaller when the quilt was finished!

By: Marelize Ries,

I was pregnant last year, and bought the cutest charm packs to make a few baby quilts. But sadly I miscarried. We lost the baby at 18 weeks of pregnancy. I made this quilt to move on and to find closure. I hope that a baby will one day feel the warmth and love that went into making it.

I’ve enjoyed making a lot of I-Spy quilts lately. This one is for my new niece, Avalon. Her name comes from a unicorn story, so I wanted there to be unicorns on it for her, so I added some with fabric paint & fabric markers.

This is a doll quilt that my 8 year old daughter pieced out of some blocks I had put in my scrap bin. The blocks were left over from a cancer quilt I had made for my sister-in-law. She pieced the top and I machine quilted and bound it for her. It now resides in our new kitten’s bed!

Log Cabin for Log Cabin Log Cabin for Log Cabin

My uncle asked me to make a quilt for his log cabin in the mountains, so the log cabin pattern just made sense! The pattern was adjusted to be more rectangular, & is machine quilted in rows of large feathers along the dark & light areas, with narrow rows of lines as fill between the feathers.

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”. I had planned to sew the blocks directly together but ended up adding sashing.

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.

Inspiration for this particular plaid came from one of my husband’s many (…many) plaid shirts 😉

I made this quilt with a Moda Lila Tueller Soiree honeybun. I started with the Baby Blanket tutorial by V & Co. on Moda Bake Shop, then modified it with extra white sashing and the pink small border. I machine quilted squares on the diagonal, which created little pinwheels at the intersections.

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. The new grass, the leafs just forming, and the beautiful azure blue spring sky with little fluffy white clouds here and there. Can you smell the freash cut grass? 🙂

The pattern is actually a simple rail fence and the color placement of the blocks create the woven pattern. Super fu

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?

By: Jessica @ A Bushel and A Beck,

Torii 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.

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. This quilt was fun to make with all the bright fabrics!

    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!

  8. Elizabeth Johnson Avatar

    I have hundreds of FQ that are organized in small tubs!

  9. Cynthia Brunz Designs Avatar

    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.

  10. saskia smit Avatar

    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.

  12. Heather Avatar

    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).

  13. Maryellen Avatar
    Maryellen

    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!

    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

    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!

    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 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 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. 🙂

    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.

  93. Heather Avatar

    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.

  94. SewCalGal Avatar

    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.

    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.

    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.

  103. KatieQ Avatar

    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.

  104. Michelle Avatar

    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.

    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!

  108. Lorna McMahon Avatar

    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!

  109. Susan Avatar

    I have around 100 and they are organized by color.

  110. Julie Fukuda Avatar

    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.

  111. claire A Avatar

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  132. Veronica Avatar

    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.

    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.

  135. Carol Avatar

    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.

  136. Robin (RsIslandCrafts) Avatar

    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 probably have around 50 fat quarters, organized by color in the cotton section of my fabrics.

    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.

  144. Shari Avatar

    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!

  146. Pam Geisel Avatar

    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.

    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! 😀

    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.

    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 🙂
