What is the difference between a fat quarter and a yard of fabric?
Asked a year ago
A fat quarter and a yard of fabric differ in size and shape. A fat quarter measures 18" x 22" and is cut in a rectangular shape by dividing a yard of fabric in half width-wise, then half again length-wise. This cut provides a larger rectangular piece compared to a regular quarter yard. On the other hand, a yard of fabric measures 36" x the fabric's width, typically 44-45". It is a longer, narrower piece. The difference in shape allows for more versatility in projects. Fat quarters are often favored by quilters as they provide a wider range of options for smaller pieces or patchwork designs, while yards of fabric are preferred for garments and larger projects due to the longer continuous length.
