«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 254 of 254I love the make ohio star baby blankets.
I don't have a go to fat quarter quilt pattern but you have a few beautiful pattens I am waiting to try and this fat quarter bundle would look beautiful in any one of them!
I've made several of your table toppers and quilts recently - I'll be getting Day Break back from the long arm quilter soon. My other favorite pattern is Terry Atkinson's Yellow Brick Road.
Fat quarters are great for disappearing nine patch. So much fun to see the variety.
I love Shimmer patten by Cluck cluck sew, its perfect for fat quarters, thanks for the chance! Alicuz(dot)ms at Verizon (dot)net.
I tend to buy mostly fat quarters and use them as I need them. I'm relatively new to quilting (and acquiring a stash)I make a lot of smaller projects like table runners, everything bags and one hour baskets, all very fat quarter friendly! Thanks for the chance to win!!
I make bags, still watn to try quilts so I don't have a favorite pattern (yet?)
Love any and all FQ Quilts (I think I'm addicted to FQ's!!)
Thanks for the chance to win@@
Other than using them for quilts-- I like variety, semi-scrappy but coordinated-- I do use them to make custom lunch bags.
I don't have one specific FQ quilt. I love to make table toppers and often use FQ's in them.
I can't say I have a favorite FQ pattern, never thught about it, guess I am always wanting to try something new. Great quilt you made. Kathy in Colo repzjratplainsdotnet
I like to make fat quarter knitting needle rollups.
My fave FQ project is hoarding...does that count? haha
I love to make patchwork quilts. So this bundle would be perfect! Thanks for the generous giveaway.
I buy fat quarters and then cut them to size. I am loving the moda love charm quilt pattern at present x

Love the firecracker quilt you've made. I don't really have a go-to pattern for FQs. I guess nine patch is my default when I don't have a lot of time. Thanks for the lovely prize.
What beautiful prints! Great prize! I like to make modified Slashed Squares with fat quarters.

Love yourfirecracker mini. I'm currently trying to do the Splendin Sampler blocks sticking to a fat quarter collection that I won in a contest last year. It's been a fun challenge. So far I've only added some background solids and one accent color.
My favorite quilt is Toes in Sand. I hope to make it or Rock Candy one day.

Wow! All of the quilts are so stunning because of the fabric used. Would love to win this bundle. Thanks for the opportunity.
Fat quarters make for speedy table runners! Love those sketchy lines in the Hand Maker fabric.
Don't really have a Fat Quarter Go-To pattern...but loooove fat quarters! :) They make great Yellow Brick quilts, and Zippy Pouches!! Thank you for chance to win your Give-a-way!! :)
Such a cute little quilt! I haven't worked with fat quarters much so I don't have a favorite project yet.
Hello, first a big thank you from a Belgium quilter for this lovely give-away
My favorite???
Well I will make a very colorfull tablecloth-quilt, white plates on it, invited our children and put the green egg on and enjoy familytime
Big hug from Quiltingmieke

I use fat quarters for lots of different quilt blocks, banks, etc, but this might just be my favorite yet! Love the spinning look to the stars in this firecracker quilt.
What gorgeous fabric. I purchase fat quarters much more often than I purchase yardage. I think my go to pattern would be the classic log cabin or else the similar classic courthouse steps.
I like to make table runners with fat quarters bundles and a little extra yardage for the backing. jacklynnsteven@netzero.com
Forgot email above! tammik57@yahoo.com. Love to quilt!
I have a major FQ habit, so I use them for all my quilts! I like the scrappy look. And I love this Firecracker quilt - it's now on my list! Thank you for the giveaway!
Definitely churn dash!!
Love the colours and prints in this collection my favourite quilt block for quits is the Pinwheel, it always makes a quilt interesting and fun!
I like to use fat quarters when making a disappearing 4 patch quilt.
I love fat quarters that are vividly colored or have cats on them! Those are my favorite to sew with.
I really like your Firecracker quilt pattern! Thanks for a chance to win some great fabric.
I like to make table runners or knitting needle holders with fat quarters.
I like to make modern quilt blocks with fat quarters. The firecracker quilt is awesome!

I love making table runners with fat quarters and some of the zippy pea pods are great as well! I just absolutely love this fabric line and so happy to participate in this fun give-a-way!

Me encantan las telas! Son hermosas y son ideales para para algunos proyectos sencillos. Gracias por esta oportunidad de participar
Love these quilts. Just a beginner so I do simple quilts RIght now just do half quarters and reaarrange to make different patterns
Love this fabric!! My favorite project was a Christmas quilt. I made it using just a simple 9 patch pattern, but it had all of those beautiful fabrics in it.
I love the snowball blocks.
My latest favorite fat quarter project is making quilted composition book covers but I love having the variety that fat quarters provide for making scrappier quilts. Love your new quilt!

I like to make totes and pillows. I am inspired to try a modern quilt with diamond shapes scattered over the surface.
My go-to pattern using FQ for a quick quilt is "Yellow Brick Road". I just bought a new book on modern quilting and can't wait to use some of those patterns---maybe find a new go-to!
My favorite fat quarter project is usually the one I'm working on at the moment. Thank you for the opportunity to win such yummy fabrics.
I am working my way thro cultural fusions by sujata shah. Hand maker would be lovely in several designs.
I like scrappy quilt. FQ gives a lot of variation.
I made your Off the Rail quilt. While I did not use fat quarters, I.m sure it would work.
Great post! I love fat quarters because of their versatility. I thnk pinwheels are my fave pattern for them. cotten.gloria@gmail.com
Wow lots of entries.
One of my favorite projects with fat quarters is making peechee style folders. My grandchildren love them.
I don't have a favorite pattern - but I like to use FQ's to add more variety to a quilt. Love your patterns!
I like using fat quarters in designs based on 4 and 9 patches for the variety they offer.
My favorite fat quarter projects are pencil cases. I use them all the time and get to see the beautiful fabrics. Thanks for the giveaway.
