Same as a fat quarter.<BR/><BR/>If I bought a "fat" eight I'd be annoyed if it wasn't fat! :-)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12561892583686450813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-60672649588558018152008-06-09T16:51:00.000-04:002008-06-09T16:51:00.000-04:00I have found that Fat Eighths are both sizes depen...I have found that Fat Eighths are both sizes depending on who is cutting them. Most places cut them 9" by 22" but sometimes they are "11 by 18". I don't think there is actually a standard size.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08928642510523047954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-39298084579506855462008-06-09T14:38:00.000-04:002008-06-09T14:38:00.000-04:00Quilters are such smarty pants!

My sister and I often do collaborative quilts for graduations, weddings, etc. and we prefer to make scrap quilts. So we usually just find a pattern we like and figure out how many squares, triangles, etc. we need and cut them from our scraps. <BR/><BR/>My smallest scraps I use for crazy quilt blocks to be made Project Linus or other donations.<BR/><BR/>I could probably make several full size quilts from just scraps!Not Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450458967223521985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-61986246376959521892008-06-09T11:37:00.000-04:002008-06-09T11:37:00.000-04:00Since a Fat Quarter is half a yard, cut in half. ...Since a Fat Quarter is half a yard, cut in half.
