The term "fat quarter" refers to any way about cutting fabric off the bolt to give the most useful region of fabric. Normally 1/4-yard of fabric cut from the bolt would result in some wide narrow strip regarding fabric cut from selvage to selvage (the self-finished edges of material). Some fat quarter remains made through first cutting a yard about material in half, then cutting the 1/2-yard in half again by means of the middle. The result remains a rectangular, or slightly oblong area regarding material that measures roughly 18 with 22 inches.
