~~What are the dimensions of common fabric cuts (fat quarter; jelly rolls; layer cakes)?
Example: fat quarter = 18" x 21"


When instructions call for different kinds of cuts (fat quarters; jelly rolls; layer cakes), how can you convert into 44" bolt fabric?
Example: 4 fat quarters of a single color = 1 yard. So instead of $10 for 4 fat quarters(4x$2.50), I can spend $7 for 1 yard.

I come across patterns that I like, but to buy 16 fat quarter can get expensive (I have to keep my hobbies at a tight budget, if I wish to do them.) I know many patterns call for lots of differnt patterns/colors. I can convert them to only a few patterns/colors & save on with bolt cuts.
