A Fat Quarter Friendly Quilt Pattern
Fat Quarter Stars is a modern quilt pattern that can be made with fat quarters. It was designed and written for beginner quilters or those looking for a speedy project. With just 8 FQs and some background fabric, you can make the throw quilt!
In addition to this quilt being perfect for a precut bundle, this blog post also includes tips for making it scrappy!
What is a Fat Quarter?
A fat quarter (sometimes shortened to FQ) is a pre-cut of fabric measuring approximately 18" x 21". Quilting cotton is usually 42" wide from selvage to selvage. A yard is 36" long, so if you were to cut a quarter of a yard, you would have a 9" x 42" piece of fabric, which is quite long and narrow.
Lots of quilt patterns need cuts wider than 9". So, instead of cutting the yard four times from selvage to selvage, cut it once horizontally and once vertically, creating four “fat” quarters instead of four “narrow” quarters.
