Ugly Fat Quarters *EDIT*

My camera is missing so I can't give you a tutorial, so I am going to give you some ideas on what to do with Ugly Fat Quarters. You know the ones you get for free on a shop hop, the one in the pack of eight that you don't like, or that stack you won at Quilto!

1. Cut them into 2 1/2" stripes and use them in place of a Jelly Roll. They will look great in a scrappy quilt. There are some great quilt books out for Jelly Roll quilts or Can of Worm quilts.

2. Cut them into 6" squares and make a quilt for Philanthropy, 7 squares across and 9 squares down. You will feel good for making something for someone in need.

3. Cut them into smaller squares, I use 3" size, and make a scrappy 4 patch.

4. Throw them into a bag and sell them at the next Boutique for $0.50. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

5. Sew them together for a quilt back. Remember 4 Ugly Fat Quarter is 1 yard of fabric. People love seeing scrappy quilt backs. I have people commenting on mine all the time.

6. This tip came from Barbara, she heard it in a class on Saturday. Cut 2 1/2" Stripes, bias sew them together, and save them in a roll, similar to a Jelly Roll. When your roll is big enough you have Scrappy binding for your beautiful Scrappy Quilts! What a great Idea! Thanks for sharing Barbara!
