Along with cooking I decided that this year I am going to teach myself how to quilt and actually make one. I am pretty excited and this is perfect, thanks so much!!!
What great info…thanks for sharing!! I’ve printed a copy to keep in my sewing studio 🙂
This is so helpful! Thanks for sharing 🙂 I have a bunch of fat quarters laying around that I keep thinking I should turn into little quilted hotpads or something, so this is great.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing and doing the math for me. 🙂
That’s awesome! Thanks Kari!

This is awesome! Thanks Kari … I’m printing this off and posting it in my sewing room.
How do I get a copy of this? I don’t see anything to open.
what does a “fat quarter” mean? New to quilting!
Fat quarters are pre-cut pieces of cotton fabric. They are taken from one yard of fabric,cut in half lengthwise,and then in half width-wise. The dimensions are approximately 18″ x 22″. A normal quarter yard cut from a bolt would measure 44″ x 9″.
