Common questions

How much fabric is in 9 fat quarters?

A standard fat quarter is about 18 × 21 inches, so nine contain roughly 4.7 square yards of fabric before seam allowances and cutting waste.

Can 9 fat quarters make a throw quilt?

Yes. A compact throw or generous baby quilt is realistic, especially when the design adds background fabric.

What should I buy in addition?

Most nine-fat-quarter patterns still need background, binding, backing, and batting. Each match below lists the known extras.
