So, remember my theory about how those pieces of fabric came to be known as fat quarters?
Well, I got an answer from a friend:
A fat quarter is cut differently than a regular fourth yard of fabric, and is slightly bigger, hence the name "Fat Quarter."
Afterwords, an anonymous reader commented that Jean Wells (Author and owner of the Stitchin' Post quilt shop in Sisters, Oregon) claims that she invented the term 30+ years ago.
Well, hope this solves your curiosity and that you also enjoyed the comical theory in my former post.
