Creating a Quilt With Fat Quarter Bundles
Using fat quarter bundles is a great way to build your next quilt. Even though you're starting with a bundle of cotton fabrics that share a common theme (or complementary colors), you can still provide your personal touch by adding materials to the mix that incorporate different textures, shades and designs.
How you choose to finish your creation will put your unique stamp on the quilt you sew. The trim, backing fabric and quilting technique you use put the exclamation mark on your finished quilt.
If you need a little help getting inspiration, check out our selection of fat quarter quilt patterns. Each pattern has been designed especially for fat quarter bundles.
The Difference Between a Fat Quarter and a Quarter Yard of Fabric
If you buy a quarter yard of fabric, you'll get a piece of material that's 9 inches x the width of fabric (typical cotton fabric is around 42 inches wide). A quarter yard of fabric is useful for strip-piecing. That's when long pieces of fabric are sewn together and cut into patchwork segments.
On the other hand, a fat quarter measures 18 inches x 21 inches. To cut a fat quarter, you'll start with a half-yard of fabric, cut it 18 inches along the lengthwise grain, then cut it in half. Fat Quarter Shop has made it easy for you by creating pre-cut fat quarters that are ready for your next quilting project.
How To Use Fat Quarters
Whether it's for patchwork or appliqué, a fat quarter offers versatility. It's ideal for sampler quilts. There's enough fabric in a fat quarter bundle to make just about any quilt block pattern, whether your taste runs to vibrant colors or neutral tones. Many of our fat quarters feature exclusive bundles from popular manufacturers like Moda Fabrics.
