Fabric isn’t just available by the yard or metre but in a sometimes bewildering array of pre-cut sizes. You can buy fat quarters, thin quarters, fat eighths, thin eighths, 5in (12.7cm) squares, 10in (25.4cm) squares, strips in different widths, triangles, rectangles and more, not to mention large-scene panels. These pre-cuts can save you time in measuring and cutting and many quilt patterns have been devised using them. Indeed, whole books have been written about the many uses of these handy pre-cuts (see Further Reading).
