What is a Fat Quarter? |
| • rectangular piece of fabric that measures a minimum of 18"x 21" |
| • the"fat quarter" cut is based on fabric sold by the yard which is a half yard cut length from the bolt then cut on the fold which gives you 2 fat quarters |
| • since Canada sells in meters most quilt stores will cut a .5m length from the bolt then cut on the fold |
| • this would make a "fat quarter" a minimum of 19 ½" x 21" |
| • this now makes a large fat quarter of fabric versus the standard skinny quarter cut of fabric which is a minimum cut of 9 "across the width |
| • the "fat" quarter cut offers more cutting options than the "skinny" quarter cut |
| a Fat Quarter will give you a minimum of: |
