What a inspirational post. My favorite fat quarter project is the disappearing nine patch. I love how it shows off every fat quarter in the bundle. Thank you for a beautiful giveaway. janie(dot)mccombs(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteFantastic giveaway! I've made a couple of Crazy 8's quilts - a very friendly FQ pattern which is also easily enlarged with some more FQ's.
ReplyDeleteLove it! It showcases the fabrics beautifully! XO
ReplyDelete99.9% of all of the quilt that I make could be made with fat quarters. I like scrappy. As such, I'd rather have 50 reds instead of 1, as a consequence, you can get that 1 piece from a fat quarter.
ReplyDeleteMore specifically, 1 1.5x1.5 square for the center of a log cabin block.
I like using fat quarters for the disappearing 4 patch. I love your firecracker quilt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric. Your quilt is gorgeous. I don't have a go to fat quarter pattern. I am trying to work my way through a lot of scraps right now.
ReplyDeleteThey're all fabulous quilts, and each so different! I'd love to win this bundle of fabric. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNot sure that I have a go to pattern but a love fat quarters and use them most of the time! Love your quilt!
ReplyDeleteFat quarters allow for a fairness in the quilting world, while not able to buy huge amounts of fabric, a fat quarter gives us status, belonging and privilege in the wonders of quilting and dreams come true. Fat quarters are my favorite for making 20 inch pillows. Hanks for an opportinity to be a part of this drawing.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fat quarter quilt is *always* the next one I have in mind. I don't tend to follow patterns too closely, as I prefer to just kind of listen to what the fabrics and colors want to do. I'll open a stack of lovely FQs and fan them out on my cutting table or on the design wall and wait until they speak to me. Then I cut and sew real quick before I change my mind and start thinking it was all a bad idea. . .
ReplyDeleteI mostly buy fatquarters. They just look so nice on a stack, lol! But I use them just as I Need them for my scrappy quilts, applique and so on. No Special block in mind, but - I love flying geese!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! Love it so much!
I enjoy sewing bags, totes, home decor, etc. and scrappy quilts. So every little piece of fabric gets used.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this fabric line and have ordered several of them already.
ReplyDeleteI suppose my favorite projects are the table runners - fun to make and fun to use.
I don't think I have a favorite pattern for FQ's. I like to try them all. PD9P are always great and so are lattice quilts. Your quilt is wonderful. Jmikebalou (at) aol (dot) com
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great giveaway!!! I love to make "Yellow Brick Road" quilts.
ReplyDeleteI am making zipper pouches as fast as I can. I have really enjoyed my stash of fat quarters for the pouches.
ReplyDeleteI use fat quarters for table toppers, small quilts and little pouches. My twin granddaughters love to use my stash of fat quarters, too. Thank you for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLovely fabric! When I need a fast small quilt, I grab 5 fat quarters and make a Wiggle Time quilt. Fast and Easy. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love using fat quarters to make small zipper pouches. It''s big enough to use them up and makes a great size for small projects.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fat quarter quilt pattern is Rosewood Lane. It's quick and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love adding a couple of Fat Quarters in scrappy string quilts- it's an easy way to make a bunch of random scraps look more cohesive!
ReplyDeleteP.S. your Firecracker quilt is lovely!
Turning 20 is my go to fat quarter quilt.
ReplyDeleteApq has a great free FQ pattern called Neutral appeal; it's on my to-do list. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love FQs for everything! I especially love Churn Dashes. Thanks for the chance to win! sarah123quilt [at] gmail {dot} com
ReplyDeleteI love your firecracker quilt.I like the disappearing 4 patch too.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful fabric. So far my favorite FQ project is the sashed half hexagon quilt.
ReplyDeleteI have several baby quilt patterns that use fat quarters.
ReplyDeleteThey go together quickly.
Right now it is Puddle Jumping by Thimbleblossom.
ReplyDeleteI just made my dad a beautiful out of this pattern.
I like to use them in the Raindrops quilt.
ReplyDeleteI have a few fat quarter quilts picked out to sew. I just purchased Cotton Way's Spool Sampler pattern. I would love to sew it when I get the opportunity. Thank you, peterstankovich@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteLOVE your Quilt!!My favorite fat quarter project is the disappearing nine patch! Thanks for sharing! msstitcher1214@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWhat cheerful fabric!! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't actually have a favorite fat quarter pattern per se - I use a variety of fabric cuts when I make a quilt, including fat quarters - I rarely make a quilt from _only_ fat quarters. I know, rebel me. :)
My favorite go-to pattern in general for scrappy quilts is Nine Patch - so many wonderful ways to set nine patch blocks into interesting quilt tops.
:) Linda (lindaschiffer at me dot come)
My favorite fat quarter project was a crazy log cabin I made a few years ago. Have a few more in planning stage.
ReplyDeleteI am using fat quarters of Good Neighbors fabric by Amanda Jean Nyberg for my Modern HST Sampler quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern and the colors are so soothing. This needs to be in my collection.
ReplyDeleteFat Quarter Fizz by FQS
ReplyDeletekml7559@gmail.com
I have not used fat quarters, as I am still a newbie in the quilting world. I have it on my to-do list, however. I made a sampler quilt with half square triangles and thought that was pretty easy. I'm currently working on a diagonal strip quilt for a friend. I'm not using a pattern and it has been a learning experience for sure! I would love to win some of those beautiful fabrics for my next project!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with Hand Maker & Flowers for Natalie.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt for this blog tour! My fat quarters usually go into making bags and pouches. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteI love to make scrappy quilts and a whole FQ bundle gives me a coordinated variety that I really enjoy! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteFat quarters are great!Shimmer by Cluck Cluck Sew is a favorite of mine!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy quilt! I guess my favorite fat quarter quilt project is one that is finished so I can go on to the next one, lol! (I have too many to have a favorite, can't you tell?) Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteI am currently working on a Be My Neighbor quilt that includes 16 houses. I am having great fun using all fat quarters. Never did this before but will definitely do it again.
ReplyDeleteI am currently doing a mystery quilt led by Bonnie Hunter and am going scrappy so my fat quarter stash has been wonderful for this project. I love the fabrics I see in this bundle!
ReplyDeleteLove these fabrics! Thanks for the giveaway. My favorite fat quarter projects are Rock Candy and 4 in 9.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fat quarter project is always the one circling my brain itching to be drafted on paper! Love this collection, too.
ReplyDeleteI just bought your new comet pattern and need some fabric for that so this would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteTwo of my favorite people teamed up with great fabric and a great pattern! But, I just bought Comet and I think Handmaker would be great in that, too!
ReplyDeleteYay, Julie and Natalie!!!
I like scrappy quilts, so fat quarters are a great option. Then I use leftovers to make baby quilts I give away.
ReplyDeleteLove these fabrics
Leanne
I haven't made enough quilts yet to have a favorite !! Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI think a dresdan plate quilt is my favorite fat quarter quilt.

ReplyDeleteI like using fat quarters for scrappy quilts. Love your work. Drhodes9@cox.net
ReplyDeleteAll of my quilts incorporate FQ's because I love the variety of scrappy quilts. They're never boring to make or look at!
ReplyDeleteI love your firecracker quilt. I'd love to make one like it!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun reading your blog and seeing all the different quilts made with the same fabrics. I don't usually repeat a pattern but I have made a couple of Yellow Brick Road patterns with fat quarters. I tend to look for new patterns using FQs every time I get a stack. Would love to work with these!!
ReplyDeleteThese fabrics are so vibrant! Like everyone else, I just love FQs and use them whenever & wherever. They're great for cutting 2 or 2.5" strips in great variety - so perfect for log cabins or Scrappy Trips Around the World. annesimonot@sasktel.net
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is great! I don't have a favorite fate quarter quilt, but can think of a few that will probably do great with fat quarter.
ReplyDeleteI am waiting for the True Blue fabric range to arrive in New Zealand so I can make your Lucky Charm pillow. In the meantime I used my new Hex n More ruler and a set of fat quarters from a range of Tilda fabrics to nmake a small mini quilt. I even used your idea for the 5 pointed star to quilt the top and it looks great. Thank you for being such an inspiration and sharing your ideas with us.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie! I love the colors in your fabric line! So cherry and bright. Right now I am working on a Miss Rosie fat quarter friendly quilt called Quiet Time. Next I would like to make Emma Jean Jansen's Harlequin Stars - also fat quarters. Have a wonderful Holidau Season!
ReplyDeleteLove these fabrics. I like to make scrappy quilts & fat quarters are perfect for providing lots of fabric choices for variety!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite pattern is the boomerang. After I saw your quilt made from Black Tie Affair I just had to do it to. It went together like a dream. My longarm person said it was a breeze to quilt and thanked me for making it so easy for her. So funny...I just followed the pattern. You made it easy.
ReplyDeleteI love working with fat quarter packs! The fabrics all work together beautifully, just gorgeous. I'm actually finishing off of a Flowering Snowball Quilt at the moment, all made from a fat quarter pack plus background fabric. 😀🐶. Lyn

ReplyDeleteI Like paperpiecing with Fat quaters, but Also All kinds of scrap quilts

ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric, beautiful quilt. I am currently using fat quarters on my Splendid Sampler quilt.

ReplyDeleteHi Julie! I would love to win this wonderful Hand Maker fat quarter bundle. I think it would be fun to make your Firecracker quilt with it. Thank you for the opportunity to enter your drawing.
ReplyDeleteI love fat quarters because you can do so many things with them. I'm working on a quilt right now that uses lots of fat quarters. The pattern is really a table topper called Short and Sweet, but I enlarged the blocks and am making a queen size quilt. It has alternating snowball blocks and 9-patch blocks and then has appliqued leaves on the border. It's really pretty and made out of my favorite Civil War fabrics.
ReplyDeleteJulie, your Firecracker quilt is so pretty! And, I love your blog. Thanks for all the great tutorials you have shared. And thanks for this fabulous giveaway! This Hand Maker fabric bundle would be great to use for your Stash Stack quilt, or your Candy Box quilt. Both super fun and super cute quilts. Maybe both will soon be on my favorites list. :)
ReplyDeleteYour Firecracker quilt is stunning! I Love it! My favorite quilt to make with fats is a scrappy version of Off The Rails, in fact I'm making one right now.
