Fat Quarters Drawn and Quartered

I was checking out quilts on Pinterest when I came across this little chart. I thought it was a great guide in knowing how much mileage you can get out of a fat quarter. This would be great to print out and take with you when shopping for fabric. It helps to take the guess work out of knowing how many fat quarters it would take to finish a project.

Quilting Fabric- Note To Self

I'll be honest, I really don't know much about the quilting world. For the short time I quilted before, I really kept to myself and just used scraps of fabric in the costume shop or at the thrift store. So, I am totally naive about the various ways in which one is able to purchase quilting fabric.

I made this little chart in order to remind myself what quilters are talking about when they discuss fabric purchases. (I'm sure I will continue adding to this list as I learn more about the quilting world).

Mini Charm Packs

A pile of 2 1/2" fabric squares

Fat Quarters

18" x 22" cuts of fabric

Jelly Rolls

2 1/2" x 44" strips of fabric

I also found this cute video on Quilty to help me figure out what to do with all these pre-cuts.
