Welcome to the August installment of our Fat Quarterly Inspiration Theme Mosaic series.  Each month, we challenge our readers with a theme and ask that you submit photos of your crafty projects that best fit that theme to the Fat Quarterly Community & Inspiration photo pool on Flickr.  For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been watching as you submitted your favorite photos matching our beachy “Underwater Wonders” theme and — wow! — there were some beauties.

Don’t you just love this mini quilt posted by Julie Gmehlin?  It was made for her by Claire (milliemorgan on Flickr) as part of a mini quilt swap.

We hope you liked this fun summertime theme!  So what’s next?  For many, September signals the start of another school year.  Can you remember the excitement of beginning a new school year?  Reuniting with your friends?  Shopping for new school supplies?  Let’s celebrate the start of the academic year with projects that showcase our many back-to-school icons: pencils, crayons, lunchboxes, looseleaf paper, rulers and — of course — an apple for the teacher!  Let this image of paper-themed fabric be your muse …

Basic Grey : Notebook Paper!

Want to see your picture in an upcoming mosaic, and relish in all of the glory and bragging rights that come with it?  (It’s called sarcasm, folks!)  Simply visit and join our group, and add your photos there.  We can’t wait to see what you submit!
