Quilting Fat Quarters for Experienced
and Beginning Quilters.
What is a Fat Quarter?
Well, here it is...a Fat Quarter is a piece of quilters 100% Cotton fabric that measures 18" x 22"
in other words, 1/2 of yard of fabric which is cut in half parallel with the selvage.
If you buy an entire yard of fabric, you will have two selvages on your piece, (a selvage is a non-raveling edge which is formed during the weaving process) as well as two cut ends (the beginning piece that was cut for the customer before you, and the cut that was just made for you). The size of a yard-cut will generally be 36" by 44" wide.
Fat
quarters are useful as you can cut a larger variety of pieces from them
given their extra height and allows for more pieces to be cut on the
vertical grain of fabric.
These smaller pieces of fabric are easier to handle, and there's less waste. Best of all, there's no standing in the cutting line. That means more quilting time!
You can make your own by cutting a half yard of fabric in half again (along the fold line). This gives you two fat quarters.
Fat quarters are sold individually or in bundles. I prefer to buy them in bundles because the colors and prints are already coordinated.
