On my recent trip to the United States I bought a few fat quarter bundles. A fat quarter bundle is a collection of fat quarters from a fabric line.

What is a fat quarter? Fat quarters are quarter-yard cuts of fabric cut wide (hence the name fat). Each fat quarter is approximately 18″ x 21″.

I also found this useful chart on Pinterest which shows the different cuts from a fat quarter.

Unfortunately I am not able to find the source for this pic and neither do I have the instructions to make this quilt. I think I will just have to wing it.
