    l hope you all find this helpful .. it was to me since l'm not a long time quilter. l guess l just didn't realize there was this much fabric in a FQ (fat quarter, for any newbies) :)

    The number of squares from a FQ (18"x22" piece of fabric)

    99 - 2" squares
    56 - 2-1/2" squares
    42 - 3" squares
    30 - 3-1/2" squares
    20 - 4" squares
    16 - 4-1/2" squares
    12 - 5" squares
    12 - 5-1/2" squares
    9 - 6" squares
    6 - 6-1/2" squares

    HTH ~ :D

    Thanks so much for info. I had no idea that you could get so many sizes etc out of one FQ. I have never used a FQ except to add interest in one or two spots on a lap quilt. You gave me inspriation....thanks

    Thank you!! I have rarely purchased fat quarters. But with the info you posted, it makes it more tempting to try them.

    Thanks for sharing! Although I don't use fat quarters but only purchase yardage this is really helpful for the members that use them.
