How It Works

A fat quarter is an 18-by-22-inch piece of fabric (a half-yard cut in half along the fold). Fat quarters give you a wider, squarer piece compared to a regular quarter yard (9 by 44 inches), making them better for cutting larger squares and rectangles. They are extremely popular for quilting because they offer variety in a small, affordable amount of fabric.
