F.A.Q. - Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Fabric

What's a Fat Quarter?

     A fat quarter is a one-fourth yard cut of fabric that measures about 18" x 22" instead of the typical 9" x 44" quarter-yard cut. The cut is created by dividing a yard of fabric into four large rectangles. Dimensions can differ slightly depending on the width of the fabric.

     Quilters love fat quarters. A narrow standard cut is great for strip piecing, but a fat quarter is makes it possible to cut pieces that are larger than the standard 9" cut will allow.
