One of the most popular ways of buying fabric is fat quarters. These little chunks of fabric make it so easy to mix and match in your projects, to gather a variety of styles, designs and colors and really make using your stash simple.
You may find yourself more in collection mode and not using mode when it comes to your fat quarter pile or collection. Easy to buy – so let’s make them easy to use.
Here we have gathered enough ideas of what to make from fat quarters to get you from collecting to sewing.
The sky really is the limit with fat quarters! You can choose to use only a few for a project (even 1) or combining a collection of more than 2 for larger projects. Think outside the box when it comes to your stash and using what you already have.
