Fat Quarters: Small Fabrics, More Than 50 Big Ideas

by Amanda Carestio

What's a fat quarter? A lovely 18 x 22 inch bit of fabric that's often just languishing in a stitcher's stash. But with this creative collection, those bits of material can be transformed into a variety of wonderful things. Take one fat quarter and you can make a bowl cover or fabric flower. Take two coordinating quarters and you've got a boho bag or patchwork frame. You'll be amazed at how far they can go—and when you're done making these baskets, blankets, quilts, and curtains, you may even need to buy more!
