Quarter Quilt
What is the difference between “fat quarters” and regular quilting blocks?
Fat quarters are a *single continuous piece* of fabric (equaling one-quarter of a yard in area… generally a rectangle that’s close to a square in shape).
When you buy fabric from a retail quilt store, each fat quarter of fabric is often rolled up and tied nicely with a ribbon around it. They’re usually put out so that quilters will not feel they’re spending too much money , and/or so that they won’t have to take time have the same fabric cut off a bolt … they’re often impulse buys too.
Quilt “blocks” on the other hand are units, often square, in which at least two fabrics (could be many more) have been cut into shapes then sewed together to make a pattern or a picture.
So…. you might buy “fat quarters” of several fabrics so that you wouldn’t have to buy more than 1/4 yard of each, and from those fat quarters you could make a quilt block or two.
It usually takes a number of “blocks” to make a traditional quilt… but the blocks can be all the same or different.
Traditional quilts may also have strips of fabric between the blocks (“lattices”), and once all the blocks (and lattices, etc.) have been sewed together, another strip of fabric may be sewed all around as a framing element (“borders”).
That’s the most traditional type of “pieced” quilt though, not “applique” or “whole cloth” or many other often “modern”-style quilts.
