Divide by 4. 4 FQs make a yard.

OH thanks...I believe I do have that book somewhere. I need to know if it is worth the money to buy 193 fat quarters for a total of $90.49. How much does it break down to per fat quarter moneywise?
About $0.47! Sounds like quite a deal to me.

fat quarters are a quarter of a yard. Just divide the total of fat quarters by 4.

You are correct, Morningcoffeegal. That is the only bad thing about Ebay. It can be worst that playing the lottery or the slot machines in Vegas. I thought I had the highest bid with only 5 minutes to go. "In the bag!" per say. Someone bet me out at the last minute by a nickel. Can you imagine, 5 meesly pennies. Boy, was I teeed. So unless they have a 'buy now' on the item, you're taking a big chance. Good Luck!

You need to learn how to snipe. Back when I was doing a lot of Ebaying, I never, ever put in a bid until the last couple of seconds, and my bid was always a goofy amount, like $20.53. I rarely lost an auction.

I used to sell fabric on ebay until ebay started raising their prices to list and sell. High percentage now.
