I learned that about fat quarters when I went to beginners class a few years back. I also have a shirt that says The Queen of unfinished Projects, that's me.

I guess for as long as I've been sewing/quilting, I never knew this! Wow! I guess you are never too old to learn. Thanks for the info - wow!

welcome to the OMG club....i keep learning all these new "rules" everyday i sew......at least you were able to use the 1/4 yard for the table runner........good job!!!!!

Thanks to all of you because I didn't know the difference. I just retired so am doing the quilting I've always wanted to do but never found the time. All of you have become my sewing friend's and I love it.

Katesnana, I love the quilt in your avatar! Can you send an enlarged picture to me at [email protected]. It looks as though it's a nine patch with alternating squares and that you got the diagonal lines by putting a pink as your center on each nine patch. Did I get that right?
