Often I find myself purchasing a fat quarter bundle and then designing a quilt that fits the amount of fabric I have to work with.

I don't like to have a lot of scrap fabric left over so I try to make the biggest quilt that the bundle I purchased allows for. Different bundles come with different amounts of fabric.

I made myself a little cheat sheet so that I can estimated what size quilt I'm going for based on how many fabrics are in my fat quarter bundle.
