9 Fat Quarter Projects

October 3, 2013 By Lauren 3 Comments

 

fatsquareLet’s talk about fat quarters. They are beautiful, inexpensive, and at every fabric store. But what can you even do with them.

I always end up at the fat quarter corner going through the prepackaged bundles  hoping to be inspired and trying to convince myself I can’t buy it for a future project.

I can seen how they would be perfect for quilters, but I am not much of a quilter. So I set out into the internet to find some fun projects to do with 18×22 inches of joy. Here is what I found:

coasters

 

 

 

 

Coasters from the Split Stich. These are adorable and I love them. And think of the holiday possibilities.

gymbag

 

 

 

 

 


Gym bag from I’m a Ginger Monkey
, Included on her site is a PDF of the project so you can easily recreate it.

cover

 

 

 


Kindle/iPad case from Charm Stick
. This is way cuter than my current iPad case.

cards

 

 

 

 

 


Business card or Gift card holder from My So Called Green Life:
 I have a business card holder similar to this one and it’s perfect. Business cards always get destroyed in my purse and I don’t want them in my wallet so this is perfect. I also love the idea of giving them out with gift cards! Perfect.

canvas

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Covered canvas from Blue Cricket Design: This is already on my to-do list for my new apartment.

pumpkin

 

 

 


Fabric pumpkins from Craft Buds
. Good thing it’s October and the perfect time to make adorable pumpkins.

bag

 

 

 

 

 


Cosmetic bag from Three Bears
. I don’t think you can have too many bags. It’s not possible.

potholder

 

 

 


Pot holders from Awaiting Ada
: These would make really cute gifts!

bowtie

 

 

 

 


Bow tie by Awaiting Ada
: Adorable

Do you have any other fun fat quarter projects? Or do you just lust over them like I do?

    I made a few kindle cases using that exact same Charm Stitch tutorial a while ago and they turned out really good ( well, relatively good considering that it was my first sewing adventure)!
