Fat quarters are a popular cut of fabric, and preselected, color-coordinated fat quarter bundles are frequently available in fabric stores catering to quilters. This collection of projects takes a series of quilt blocks suited to color-coordinated fat quarter bundles and presents them in a mix of settings, allowing quilters to choose the look they prefer. Styles range from simple patchwork and half-square triangle-based designs to slightly more complex pieces involving triangular and rectangular pieces, with all of the blocks beginner friendly. The samples are generally bright and cheery, but color variations are given, demonstrating how shifts in the color palette affect the overall design of the quilt. The cutting diagrams are designed for fat quarters, allowing quilters to maximize the number of pieces that can be cut from a single fat quarter while minimizing waste. The piecing instructions are easy to follow, with sewing diagrams included for key steps in the process. VERDICT The block-with-setting-variations presentation is tried and true, so that quilters can easily customize their quilts to best suit their needs. This fun collection will appeal to quilters looking for quick, easy fat quarter-based projects. Library Journal, 11/15/15 Everyone loves a fat quarter.
