a quarter could be many things- the 1/4" seam required in pretty much all quilt patterns- a fabric cut...
a fat quarter is...
take a 1/2 yard of fabric- cut it at the fold= you have a piece of fabric approximately 18"x22" (depending on the width of the fabric)
a regular 1/4 yard is a strip of fabric 9"xwidth of fabric-44" (or less)
hense- the fat quarter part-
you actually get the same surface amount either way- but sometimes you need wider cuts than 9" so a fq works better
there is a list of acronyms- just put it in the search box- they are all there :)
welcome- and after awhile you will get the hang of our...abreviations :)
