Give away day has arrived. This year I’ve been sewing with Fat Quarters (fabric 18 x 22) I’ve found them to be the perfect amount for coasters and leave only little bits of fabric left over. As I don’t like to see beautiful fabric go to waste I’ve been researching small projects that will use the left over of pieces and don’t require me to patchwork, which I don’t have patients for. Two items which can be make from scraps and business card holders and tissue covers. These two projects are fast and easy to make. My family will likely receive these as part of their holiday gifts.
The two here are made of coordinating fabrics and card holder features a snap closure. I would love to know what project you’ve made using fat quarters? So the give away is open to people world wide, I’ll ship the item first class airmail by December 5, 2008. The winner will be chosen at random using a random number generator. Post your comments by noon tomorrow, (westcoast time) to be entered. thanks.

Cute, cute, cute!! I recently bought six different fat quarters and made a collection of fun, quilted pot holders following one of the patterns I found on Sew, Mama, Sew. It was my first attempt at quilting, and I think it came out nicely. I gave one away on my Birthday Giveaway!! The tissue holder is on my short list of things to try next!!

Awesome stuff!!! How about really cool headbands made from 1/8 of a foot of fabric! They can be found on the Heather Bailey site. That is my new favorite homemade gift for women/girls. :-)
Good luck G!

Love your fabric, they are so unique.
Now those are cute holders! I hope I win!
I love fat quarters. I have an obession with fabrics and buying fat quarters means my stash is always rich with colors. Little itty bitty pieces can be so beautiful together!
This year, I'm making litter bags for my kids' cars out of fat quarters. Since I'm a quilter, they get used in more conventional ways, too, but the litter bags are my newest "thing" :-)
I have never made a project with fat quarters...yet! Your creations are so cute!

I've bought them for quilts, purses, tag blankies, cheque book covers, and more. They have tonnes of uses!

What a great prize, useful love that! I don't really sew much, maybe little animals or something.

I'm so boring. I tend to just make quilts with mine. Although I have made some sandwich wraps with leftovers
Haven't done it yet, but I plan to make this knot bag! http://showyourworkings.wordpress.com/tutorials/japanese-knot-bag-instructions/

A tag blanket I made called for a fat quarter cut square but I was not able to find a cute print in store so I bought a half yard and am making a second one... does that count? I also found a really cute wallet with checkbook cover that uses fat quarters that I want to try...
This would be absolutely lovely to win and I hope I do because I think would flip!
Thanks so much for the chance too!

I like to make softies with small amounts of fabric. I can't explain why I like to make softies, but once you start, it is very addicting. izazbz at yahoo
beautiful and useful!
Wow my friend. Those are cool. And your give-away seems to be a great success. Me, I started with fat quarters way back when i didn't have money for anything else. I personally love using them for doll clothes - generally the right amount for something small.

I am just getting back into sewing, so I need good ideas too!!!

How Sweet!I think I'm needing those...
I like to buy FQ's in 1930's fabrics. I have already made a Grandmothers Flower Garden quilt and appliqued the flower to a background square. I have many 30's so there will be more quilts made from them.
