Yes, K--you can get 4 fat quarters from one yard of fabric. First you cut
your 1 yard piece of fabric at the 1/2 yard line. You now have two pieces that are 18" X 45". Next you take each of those pieces and cut them in 1/2, but this time you are cutting them in half on the fold line. Each half becomes 18X22"--ta dah---a fat quarter. It is "fat" because a regular 1/4 yard is only 9" long. You can do a lot more with a fat quarter than a regular quarter yard.
