When I returned to the USA and began taking quilting classes, like all enthusiasts, I found catalogs of stuff to buy, including fabrics. One of my kids found one of those catalogs and fell in love with a pack of 6 fat quarters, in the turquoises and blues of the tropical island where we used to live (Guam). I bought the 6 fat quarters with the thought of making a quilt...someday. That was probably 20 years ago. Here is the Rail Fence quilt. It measures 46 X 61.
The front.
The back. I used every scrap of the 6 fat quarters, except miniscule trimmings to square up the fabric. The four little blocks are leftovers, and the large block was all the trimmings sewn together. I even outlined the signature square with leftover pieces.
Domestic machine pieced, domestic machine quilted, stitched in the ditch. Backing blocks were sewn on by hand applique.
