Last week I decided to make a charm pack friendly quilt but I wanted to use fat quarters from my stash. Since I didn’t know how many 5″ squares could be cut from a fat quarter (or any other size squares for that matter), I went online and did a bit of research.

After finding the information needed, I decided to make a quick reference chart for future use. I figured if I was wondering such things, other quilters would be too.
My Fat Quarter Cutting Chart is a free PDF download. I recommend saving it to your computer or printing out a copy as it’s a great tool to have on hand.

And how many 5″ squares do you get from a fat quarter? The answer is 12!
