This is a handy guide that will surely help you in your quilting adventures/crafting  with fat quarters. Have you ever wondered how many squares of different sizes make up a fat quarter? This guide takes the guess work out of this!

  Fat quarters are great because they allow you to buy a little of each fabric/pattern and create beautiful projects.  Most people that sell fat quarters on Ebay sell coordinating fabrics which helps to put together projects quicker and easier.

 Now you don't have to feel "cheap" because you only want to purchase a quarter yard of fabric.  Fat quarters are very hot and trendy, and most of all, fun!  And there are many projects/patterns that are dedicated to use exclusively fat quarters.

Generally, a fat quarter is a rectangle of fabric that measures 18 inches by 22 inches. 

Fat quarters offer more options than a regular quarter yard.

One Fat Quarter Equals:

99 - 2 inch squares

56 - 2 1/2 inch squares

42 - 3 inch squares

30 - 3 1/2 inch squares

20 - 4 inch squares
