Fat Quarter Challenge: What Do You Do With a Fat Quarter?

Just the other day a friend was looking through GoofingOff and asked me “What can you do with a fat quarter?” Hmmm, I thought, what can you do with a fat quarter? Because I quilt a little, I am familiar with fat quarters. They provide me with just the right amount of color that might be lacking in a block.  A fat quarter is a good way to buy a little bit of fabric, more than a sample but less than a yard, especially if the fabric is a budget breaker.

Here’s the challenge: what do you do with a fat quarter? Here’s a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

If you have ideas or just want to show off, post a link in the comments and I will add them, too.

Bibs and Burp Cloths

Mug Rugs

Crafty Stitches also makes these beautiful jewelry rolls using 2 fat quarters.

Camera Strap Cover

I made this (blush).  Not perfect but I love the colors. It feels like my hubby’s giving me a hug every time I use it (he just bought me the camera. Woo Hoo!).

Pot Holders

I made these, too. Love the pattern. Looks like leaves.  Ok, I am not the greater sewist around but you get the point. Sewist, I always wondered what we were called. Sewer didn’t sound right.
