Why Quilt Lizzy Fat Quarters Give You More to Love

If you’re a quilter, you know that fat quarters are like little treasures waiting to be transformed into something beautiful. They’re colorful, versatile, and just the right size for experimenting with new designs without committing to a full yard of fabric. Whether you’re piecing together a scrappy quilt, trying out applique, or simply building up your fabric stash, fat quarters are a go-to favorite for quilters everywhere.

But here’s something you may not know: not all fat quarters are created equal.

Most shops cut their fat quarters at 18" x 22." That’s the industry standard, and while it works, it doesn’t leave much wiggle room. Once you start squaring your fabric, trimming edges, or accounting for small shifts in the grain, that 18" cut can suddenly feel a little… tight.

At Quilt Lizzy, we believe quilters deserve better. That’s why we cut our fat quarters at 19" x 22"—an extra inch that makes a world of difference.

What Makes Quilt Lizzy Fat Quarters Special?

That one extra inch might not seem like much at first glance, but ask any experienced quilter and they’ll tell you: every fraction counts. With a 19" x 22" cut, you gain:

• Room to square up: No more worrying about losing too much fabric when straightening your edges.

• Creative freedom: That extra inch could mean the difference between cutting four strips instead of three, or keeping a design element you really love.

• Less stress, more joy: Quilting should be fun—not frustrating. Having a little cushion helps keep your project smooth from start to finish.
  
  

It’s a small adjustment with a big payoff.

Why Fat Quarters Are a Quilter’s Best Friend

For beginners or those new to quilting, here’s why fat quarters are so beloved:

• Versatility: At about a quarter yard of fabric, fat quarters give you enough to cut squares, strips, triangles, or even appliqué shapes.

• Variety: They’re perfect for building a stash of colors and patterns without buying yards of each fabric.

• Affordability: Fat quarters are budget-friendly, so you can collect a range of fabrics for your projects without breaking the bank.
  
  

From patchwork quilts to small accessories like pouches and table runners, fat quarters are the building blocks of creativity. And with Quilt Lizzy’s generous sizing, you get even more possibilities in every piece.

A Commitment to Quilters

At Quilt Lizzy, we understand the joy—and sometimes the challenges—of quilting. That’s why we put thought into the details that matter most to our customers. Cutting our fat quarters just a little bigger is our way of saying we care about your craft.

Because when your fabric gives you the space you need, you can focus on what really matters: bringing your vision to life.
