welcome to the fat quarter quickies blog tour, y'all.
(thanks, kathy. xoxo)
fat quarter quickies is a collection of quick and easy quilts.
with this book, you will learn to efficiently cut fat quarters into smaller units for any quilt pattern that features precut strips and squares.
and we all love working with those precut sizes, don't we?
i instantly fell in love with sail away.
it meets all of the rachel criteria: lots of white/cream solid, pops of color AND simplistic.
winner winner chicken dinner.
PLUS, it's just so very pretty.
*sigh*
it's going to be dreamy, right?

Oh my, I bet somewhere near 200 - probably more :)
I don't have many fat quarters for some reason. A lot of my cuts are either smaller (charm pack or layer cakes) or bigger...
Most of what I have are fat quarters. I probably have around 150. I would love a book with more patterns for fat quarters. I am using the same patterns over and over again because they have worked so well for me.
I only have a couple because I am very new to quilting. But I look at others stashes and dream of building my own one day. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!
I probably have about 150 or so. They are just so pretty, I don't want to cut them up!
I would have to guess that the number is somewhere between 100 and 150. The are so dangerous at the store, I always end up getting them as I am at the checkout line.
Way too many fat quarters in my stash. They are everywhere - by my sewing machine; in a box under my bed; in another box in a closet. I could make every single project in this wonderful book and still have fat quarters left over. Yes, I really really do need to win my own copy. I love every project and so want to make them - for me. Thank you for the chance to win.

I probably have about 100 fat quarters :O
In the stash that I have here or do I have to count the stash I sent home with my parents since we'll be moving closer to them soon ;) Here, I think I only kept about 20 and I'm trying to use them up quickly!
I can see why you fell for that one....fingers are crossed for this ebook....thanks Rachael
I bet I have somewhere around 150-175 fat quarters. I love to collect these. If I win the book I will make the sail away quilt with some of them.

I don't usually buy fat quarters, I think I have about 7 in my stash right now. I usually buy half or full yards.
Somewhere around 10?! I usually buy half yard cuts :)
im just a beginner quilter so probably 5 or so...
I probably have about 100 or so right now, maybe more.
I have way to many to count!And if
i did i think i would have to go buy more -lol
ummm, maybe 7-10 and they are all Bliss by Connie and Camille...eye candy:)
I have at least 2 full bundles and then another 50 or so (probably more - lol)
Maybe 100???
At least 200 (that I will admit to ;))!
HELLO! PROBABLY AROUND 100 FAT QUARTERS IN MY QUILTING CABINET!
THANKS FOR SHARING!
msstitcher1948@yahoo.com
I probably have about 100. I tend to buy half yards more often.but they're good for FQ quilts, too!
Several hundred ... at a minimum :)
I don't have a lot of fat quarters in my stash...I'm thinking it's somewhere under 50 FQs. I buy more in yardage and precuts!
That pattern is very sweet...and all quilts with Bonnie and Camille fabric are lovely!! I have about 120 fat quarters now. I mostly buy half yards. Thanks for the opportunity to win!!
I don't think I have any fat quarters in my stash right now. I think I have all bigger cuts at the moment. Though my stash isn't very big. Maybe it needs to grow with some fat quarters. :D
Oh dear, I really like to buy in half yards at the smallest but buy fat quarters to "play" with and I just had a quick count up and stopped at 130. I store them in groups of 10 so easy to count.
Oh me, I know over 200 because I have a huge pack of 30's fat quarters that I haven't even open yet! I just love looking at them on my shelf...
Too many that I no longer like and not enough of new fabric. :)
At least 200, but probably more. Yikes! I have more on the way from an online shopping spree this weekend! Must get sewing soon.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Not enough.....hehehe I think I probably have have 100, but and craving some Madhuri.
Looks like I need to build up my stash of FQ's again lol. Love the baby quilt.
27... I counted... apparently I need more in comparison to the comments you've received, so I'm going out and adding to my stash!
Oh gosh, since I just got a new FQ bundle recently which was a big one, I'm sure I must have at least150 fat quarters, if not more.
Oh, that's something I don't keep track of, but I probably have at least 100 to 150 fat quarters in my collection. It's hard to cut them up for some reason! Thanks!
Probably only 2 dozen. I don't consider it a big stash as I'm still a beginner
I LOVE fat quarters! I probably have around 100.
maybe 50? I have lots of "partial" fat quarters, LOL that I have cut pieces out of for this and that...
Actually, not so many FQs...maybe 25. I usually buy way too much yardage.
I am not a stasher! I probably have less than 10 on hand.
How many FQs? Enough to make all the quilts in the book, no doubt!
Really, only a dozen or so. Mainly I use scraps from other projects.
I would have to say around 50. I didn't start collecting them until recently. I have always had some, just not very many. I find they are so useful and it is ok to cut into them!
oh, gee, I know of 300 right off the bat, because I bought 2 batches of 100, and then 32 here, and 42 there, must be over 350. I do use them up 30 at a time, though, when I make a quilt with them. But at least 100 are just odd pieces, that I got in a surprise pkge or that I just couldnt resist.
Not enough. I'm new to quilting and have probably around 10-15. I'm always eyeing more though!
So I went and counted after reading today's post and I have 160 fatquarters that I can see with my eyes... don't tell! The bad part after that is that I still have many charms, a couple jellys, and several yards and half yards. oops...guess I better get sewing. :)
I think I have a little over 200, but tell my husband. Thanks for a chance at an e-book:)
I sat here and counted in my mind for a few minutes and (yikes) I'd better go count! Probably about 100! Can't resist them. They are like single serving candy bars in the grocery check-out lne!
I have over 300.
Thanks for the giveaway!
wow, I have well over 500 fat quarters. Don't tell my husband.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Maybe 40? I have more half yards :D
I probably have 150 or more. Afraid to count..
Maybe 100? I think I need more... :-)
I have 4 boxes and 3 dresser drawers full of fat quarters...so maybe 400-500?
I probably only have about 20 fat quarters in my collection, and having read some of the other comments I don't feel one bit bad about my little collection now! Haha! I do have plenty of other fabric scraps though, and I'd love to win that book. :o) Thank you!
I don't keep a huge stash. I would guess I have about 18 fat quarters. Thanks for a chance to win!
Hmmm, I don't have many fat quarters. Maybe just 20?
brookeali(at)Hotmail.com
I probably have between 50 and 60 right now, just used a lot making an Impromptu quilt - thanks for that pattern - I love it!
Maybe 20 fat quarters...methinks I need more...
Thanks for the chance to win!
:)
Most of my fabric stash is made up of FQs. I probably have at least
400. Thanks for the chance to win.
wigglypup2(at)yahoo(dot)com
I just went and counted 198 and I love each and every one.
Probably about 25. I've learned that I like larger cuts better.
I have between 175 - 225. (blush) But they all have a purpose!!!! I swear they do!
Did you know: Batik FQs look terrific in an 18" x 24" frame!
Will you post the finished Sail Away when youj're done?
I'm not counting, but I know I have several 60 litre Rubbermade tubs full, and a few drawers as well.If I don't count I can truthfully answer I don't know.Is there such a thing as too many?????
Oh my, I would hate to count then but would estimate around 150. What a great looking book !
I have more than I should. Probably around 200. I am too scared to even estimate. The book looks great. Thanks for the chance to win
I probably have too many just sitting there! I know there is a bag with about 50 or so just sitting there ready to start a Civil War quilt!
I would love to win a copy of this book as I'm a FQ girl not a precut girl and it would be a win win. Plus today is my Birthday and would be a lovely gift ;)
LOL! I have a number of FQ packs, so the number of FQs would be in the 200+ range. Okay. That's gross to have to put a number to it . . .
Good question! I'm addicted, and have been doing more shopping than sewing in the past year or two. I was going to say 100, the I mentally started counting bundles, yikes! I probably have over 200 fat quarters. Thank goodness I only have three more teaching days before a summer I sewing!
Sarah
I actually think I only have 6 or 8 fat quarters in my stash. But scraps? Now, that's a different story!
I know right now I have only 15 but those are going to be used for my bee next month. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would have to guess around 50, but I'm going to have about 20-30 once I start cutting them this week.
At least 50 - probably more!
I would guess 135
Not even close to enough ;)
Maybe 50, crazy prints mostly!
Most of my stash are FQ's so I must have around 150.
Let's see....maybe 100.
Rachel,I have so enjoyed visiting
you today. You prompted me to actually count my Fat Quarters. If
I didn't miss any, I have 215.
"Thank you" for offering the e-book.
Mary Arline
Ha. Depends who's asking...If my hubby is asking~probably 9 or 10, if it's another quilter then they could probably add a zero to the end of that. I tend to buy by the yard if I'm at a store, but I buy bundles of FQ's at shows etc., and I usually get one or two for my birthday or Christmas or... thanks for the giveaway!
I think I probably have about 80. I have been buying more pre-cuts lately instead of fat quarters.
Honestly.... Zero.... I would love to have some:) usually buy by yardage at store I shop at.
Have a blessed day,
Actual fat quarters I've bought? Maybe 10 ... Fat quarters I've cut out of shirts? At least 30. Thanks for the chance at a fun giveaway!
i have about 25 fat quarters in my stash...not a lot of storage space i my house!
:)
I have only about 4 fat quarters, but tons of 1 yard pieces, I would love a pattern book with ideas for small quantities of fabric.
How many? At least 100!!
I have about 30 fat quarters, most of my fabric is either bigger pieces or smaller scraps...need to work on that.
I think I have about 10 fat quarters in my stash. I have about 15 half yard cuts. Sail Away is a cute pattern!
Too many! But after tomorrow there will be fewer. We are setting up to make quilts for those that have been evacuated and are now homeless from devestating floods here in Western Canada.
I love love love fat quarters. I think I have over 100...I try to use them up as much as I can but I keep buying them.
thim3@hotmail.com
Now that's a question that makes me pause...I say never enough! My husband...he would not say that! If you are talking full fat quarters, maybe 30-40. Partial, maybe 20-30! Looks like I could use this book so I can make use of some of them!
Oh I'd probably say around 115ish sounds about right. I'm sure this book would come in handy real nice. Thanks!
Oh my, most of my stash consists of fat quarters. If I were to count them and then multiply them by a very conservative two dollars a piece (or even three) then I would know how much I have invested in fabric. That might be eye opening. I know I have at least several hundred. They are great for scrappy quilts!!
I am just starting building my stash. I would say I have 50 fat quarters. Time to make something!
Well, I'm on a "no new fabric" kick and I've been slowly whittling down my stash. . . So maybe 20? 25? 30???
Probably 25 to 30 FQ's right now. Would love some ideas for projects tho!
I am going to say at least 1000....I am addicted to fabric and I am not ashamed to say it!!!!!!!!!!! (O:
I would have to say about 50. I use to collect them but not so much anymore. Would love to win a book on how to use up more of my stash. Thanks for the opportunity.
Please don't ask me to count as I really don't want to know. fat quarters are my downfall. Thanks for a great giveaway.
About 50. I've moved on to half yards now - which is even worse. The book would be fantastic.
Maybe 40? I tend to like half yards better, but my budget keeps voting for fat quarters ;)
I would guess around 40-50 at least! They are so fun to collect! :)
I just did 2 rainbow colored quilts and that made a serious debt in my fat quarter shelf. I have 3 left. Yep. 3! Lol!
At least 100, shhh don't tell my husband!
Too many to count. Over 250.
Too many to count. Over 250.
I could sound funny, but I have no fat quarters. I use yardage and I buy usually 1/2 yard.
I've cut into most of mine so they're no longer a full quarter, plus I had a recent destash so I'm going to guess at 40-60, but only 25 whole ones.
I am sure I have well over 100 fat quarters in my stash. A book like this would be well used! :) Thank you so much for the chance at winning one!
I was very lucky to be given a box of fat quarters at cost of all muted tonal fabrics, I've used so many of them already and still have about 20 left, but then I have three draws of long quarters, half metres, half fat quarters all waiting to be used (I'm also very lucky to be given odds and ends everytime I go and pick up my fabric order), so winning this book would really, really help :o)
LOTS of fat quarters as I was on a buying spree for those when I first started quilting. Some may be missing corners or strips, and I'm looking forward to using more in a scrappy quilt.
I am not a huge collector (or so I thought), but I probably have about 250. So I guess I need this book LOL!
My name is Suz and I'm a fat quarter addict. I love scrappy quilts and fat quarters are a great way to get the most bang for your buck! This book would be a great addition to my quilt patterns!
Ha! Lots but I use them a lot too. I'm guessing between 200 to 250. And I keep them in baskets and boxes on top of some book shelves. They are my "go to" fabric for small projects.
I probably have between 50 and 100. I've been stash busting a bit lately... Thanks for this chance!!
Probably around 100! I need to get to work using them!
I love fat quarters but I believe I only have about 60. It will be increasing because I talked my boys into giving me fabric for birthdays and Christmas,
Looks like a great book. I don't have too many FQs but I'm collecting as I am starting to love quilting! These quilt blogs are a wonder for those of us just getting started.
If I had to guess, I'd say I probably have maybe 50 fat quarters in my stash. If my budget doesn't allow a bigger fabric purchase, I tend to grab a few, just to satisfy my craving at the time. :)
Maybe 100, which seems like a lor but I really don't feel like I have mearly enough fabric to do anything with it. Hmmm
Hi! I have too many!! I just can't count them all!! I agree with you, though, Sail Away is my favorite so far, although they are all beautiful and I would like to make them all. Thank you for the chance to win!!
for FQs, I have a big bin full! It's probably in the neighborhood of 2-300. I've never counted. :)
I have at least 150 to 175 single fat quarters, I have another 75-100that are in fat quarter bundles. I would say I need some patterns for these :)
Um, do I really have to admit that?! lol :) Most of my stash is fqs, I would think I have at least 200, but I'm erring on the side of caution with that estimate, so as not to scare myself ;)
I have about 6 shoeboxes full... Probably close to 200...
Not enough, lol! Seems I never have what I need and have to go shopping again.
i have six fat quarters babscorbitt@gmail.com
My guess is that I probably have less than 20 fat quarters in my stash. I spent alot of my first 30 years making clothes, buying yardage of 3+yards, so I am still afraid that there is not enough in a fat qtr. to make anything. I would love to win the book that shows me that I can survive with the fat quarters.
thelady at hotmail.com
How many fat quarters do I have? My guess is maybe 50? Thanks for the opportunity to win the book. That would help with those fat quarters!
I probably have between 75 - 100, but don't tell my husband :) i have started doing some machine embroidery so all those fat quarters have been a help!
Without counting them, I'd guess I have around 70 or so. Gosh, that isn't that many compare to some, but I bet my husband would freak out, given I also have charm packs and yardage in addition to the fat quarters! (and I'm so proud!) :)
I'm like a lot of others that commented - I have more precuts and yardage(whites, neutrals). Over time, I've used up my fat quarters with fun little quilts. However, I probably have a few dozen still in my stash. They come in handy - specially when then are from collections by the same designer and they start mixing and matching with each other. Making so many little baby quilts this summer - many babies being born in my circle of friends and family.
Wow, some of these ladies have a lot haha I think I have only about 17 right now.
(smjohns63 at yahoo dot com)
I probably have some where around 200.
lag110 at mchsi dot com
currently I think I only have about 14 FQ is my stash...I'm just starting out so I could definately use M.O.R.E!
YES! Your quickie quilt will be dreamie, of course, anything with red in it is dreamie for me! I probably have 30 fat quarters in my stash, mostly oldies but goodies...
can never have enough fat Quarters
I guess 20 or so - am not really sure!
As a novice quilter, I only have a few fat quarters. Well, "a few" in quilting terms- I probably have around 30 untouched fat quarters, most of which I bought while working at a craft store (they looked so beautiful and bundled up and tied with string). Thanks for this opportunity to win a great book of patterns- I am always on the lookout for them as it is!
I don't have very many any more as I've been using them for scrap quilts. I'd guess I have around 3 dozen. thanks for a chance to win.
Oh gosh, they are in 2.5 bedroom closets. I had to leave half of the spare bedroom closet empty in case someone comes to visit. My guess is over 1,000 fat quarters. Now, you've made me rethink my fabric purchasing method. Not lol. Thank you for the chance to win the e-book.
I probably only have around 120...Thanks for the chance to win the ebook!
Ah, I love fat quarters! My stash isn't very big, but most of it is FQs, so I'd say I probably have 35-40. Thanks!
I'm going to say I have over 50...I started buying Fat Quarter late...most of my fabric is at least a half yard or more.
I'm guessing 75ish. I have as much 1/2 yd. cuts as fat quarters.
Hmmm, good question! I just bought 63 (at a super buy) Friday, have 3 FQ bundles, plus various others. At least 300, probably more! Thanks for participating.
Probably around 50!
I've been subscribed to the Fat Quarter Shop's batik FQ club for about 5 years, so that's at least 700 in my stash (I have actually used a few). Thanks.
I probably have about 70 FQ's right now. I keep finding them more and more useful as I get into scrappier quilts :)
I know I have less than a dozen--I like using them as they are a perfect size for so many things.
I have to have over 400! I am slowly using them up!
I'm thinking around 50. Sounds like I need to add to my stash too!:) Thanks!
I have some but like any dedicated quilter I would have to say - not enough!
After reading your post, I decided to count how many I have before commenting. I stopped at 125 and there were still 2 more boxes. Ugh! Time to start using them.
I'm not sure how many I have, maybe arouns 40-50. They are great eye candy.
I'm guessing I have 20 fat quarters in my stash.
I don't usually buy FQs because they seem to be more expensive than just buying yardage from the bolt, so do I count how many FQs can fit in all my yardage?? In that case, about eleventy million :)
I have just been quilting quilting year and a half so maybe 50
I have no idea, but if I have to guess, it would be in the hundreds!
less than 50
I actually don't purchase FQ very often, and when I do, they tend to get used immediately. I'm guessing I probably have 10-15 on hand.
At least 50, probably more...
Shh don't tell I hide mine under my bed in a flat long sweater container and it is full. Plus I have some in a cloth bag waiting to be used for a project. There must be close to 50-75. Sure is hard when such cute stuff comes out.
I don't know an exact number but it's not enough!
I don't know an exact number but it's not enough!
I counted them - 14 exactly! thanks!
I probably have about 175 fat quarters and even more pre-cuts.
Fat quarters were the first cuts of fabric I used as a beginning quilter and they still come in handy.
Thank you for the giveway, the book looks FANTASITC!
