The World of “Fat Quarters”
Some people, who browse at our yard sales, express puzzlement at the term “fat quarters” on the sign my daughter has printed on a box of fabric pieces. One man wanted to purchase the whole box of “scraps” for two dollars for his wife and found it difficult to understand when I said they were sold singly for 50c each, a really good price for fat quarters.
Quilters who search through the fabric, notions, and patterns Beth has decided she can do without are thrilled to find fat quarters for this price. They have become a popular item whenever we have a yard sale and a way for Beth to get rid of fabric she’s decided she’ll never use.
Fat quarters is a quilters’ term for a piece of fabric that is 18 x 22-inches, or a half yard of fabric cut in half. Quilters buy these when they’re looking for small pieces of fabric for projects. They’ve become very popular in recent years.
