I have found a great way to fold fat quarters instead of the typical square folding.  Here we go:
First, lay out your fat quarter and fold into thirds, lengthwise.
 Tuck up the lower left-hand corner.  This is what will make the point of
 your first triangle.
 It may take a little adjusting until you get the 
hang of it.  
Start folding from the bottom right-hand side. 
Continue folding until there is a small flap left.  Tuck flap inside. 
They can be stacked in a criss-cross style. 
Tie with a ribbon or piece of twine and you're done!
