Would any fabric strip work or does it have to be cut on the 45 degree angle?

If you ask a clerk at the fabric shop to cut a quarter yard of material for you, what you will most often receive is a cut that's the width of the fabric (about 44 inches) by 9 inches long. A "fat" quarter is half the width of the fabric (often 22 inches) by a half yard or 18 inches.Lady Dragonesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048746994805570797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613422217926753747.post-2120898182041480982013-01-20T18:53:54.529-08:002013-01-20T18:53:54.529-08:00What is a "fat quarter"?What is a "fat quarter"?Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951378075075496678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613422217926753747.post-57033460296408673132012-01-28T17:56:38.135-08:002012-01-28T17:56:38.135-08:00Very nice.
