I live in Canada and belong to a FQ swap group. I recently learned about the difference in sizes between US and Canada fq in stores. I assumed in Canada they would all be in metric size but someone said that is wrong. One person said she received one that was too small and they should all be at minimum twenty inches along the selvage side so they would be about twenty one by twenty. So that being said, a metre is 39.37 inches to be exact. However if the store cuts exactly that amount with not allowing extra, then by buying a full metre as suggested and cutting it, then half of 39.37 is not going to give a "minimum" of 20 inches long. How do you get around this without buying more and thus the fat quarter costing more? I may not sign up for more swaps if it is going to be measured that close.
