My question: if a fat quarter measures 18"x20", which direction do I cut long strips from? I was reading from a quilting book but it didn't go into any detail as to cutting. Is the 20" side from 1/2 a width of fabric? I'm confused!!! Any help will be appreciated.

A fat quarter is 18" x 22" or half the width of the fabric and half the length of a yard. Most quilting fabric is about 44" wide. You usually cut strips from the width or the 22" side. Hope this helps. And have fun!!!
