Great info! I was shying away from fats until recently. Starting picking up a few here and there but my fear was not having enough once I got started using one but with this information it will be very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

They can be off too if you they have used 42" wide fabric, then you get 18 X 21 :wink:

Interesting. I never got past the measurements of a fat quarter. Thanks for sharing the info.

A fat quarter is 1/4 of a yard, i.e. a yard cut into 4 quarters, not a 1/2 yard.

thanks :-D

thank you gilla that really help`s me

And 21 3"X6" bricks...

Thank You Mamagus

Hey, that's my motto!!!

If I find a fat quarter print I really like I always buy atleast two.

Also with our little group of quilters when one of us goes on a trip and goes to a quiltshop We find a neat fabric and buy a yard and pick up a few of the shops cards and make fat quarters and give then to our little group. We get a fat quarter and also with the business card we know where it came from. Its fun and a nice way to remember a trip
