1 **Fat Quarters**
2
3 A Fat Quarter is a specific cut of fabric measuring approximately 18" x 22" (though this can vary slightly by manufacturer). It's called "fat" because instead of cutting a regular quarter-yard (which would be 9" x width of fabric), the fabric is cut in half twice to create a more usable, squarish piece.
