A fat quarter is a piece of fabric that measures approximately 18 x 22 inches. It is a quarter of a yard of fabric that is cut from a bolt of fabric, but unlike a regular quarter yard cut which measures 9 x 44 inches, a fat quarter is cut from the fabric in a way that maximizes the amount of usable fabric.
A fat quarter is called so because it is a quarter of a yard of fabric that is cut from the bolt of fabric that has already been doubled in width. Instead of being cut along the length of the fabric (which is usually 44-45 inches wide), a fat quarter is cut in half along the width and then cut in half again along the length. This creates a larger piece of fabric that is more versatile for quilting, sewing, and other crafts.
Fat quarters are popular among quilters because they provide a good amount of fabric for making smaller projects, such as quilt blocks, small bags or purses, and more, and can be used to create interesting and dynamic designs when combined with other fabrics. They also allow quilters to collect a wide variety of fabrics without having to purchase full yards of each one.
