Fat Quarter: a common fabric measurement in the US. Fat quarters are pre-cut pieces of cotton quilting cloth, taken from one yard of fabric, cut in half lengthwise, and in half widthwise, rather than lengthwise. This is often a more useful shape, approximately 18" x 22", than a normal quarter-yard cut, measuring 44" x 9".
My name is Jeannie and I decided a few years ago to quit my job and go back to school. I studied fashion design in New York and began a new career in 2010. This blog is everything I want to remember and to share. Thanks for visiting....
