What Can You Cut from a Yard of Fabric?
Turn Yardage Into Pre-Cuts and More!
Have you ever wondered what you can cut from a yard of fabric? Quilt patterns are often designed around pre-cuts but what if you have yardage you’d like to use instead? Or maybe you’d just like to save some money and make your own pre-cuts.
Staci from Crafty Staci has created a wonderful chart that shows exactly what can be cut from a yard of fabric. Use it to make your own fat quarters, 2 1/2″ jelly roll strips, and more.
Learn more about the chart here and download a version to print and keep on hand at the following link.
But what if you want to cut a lot of squares? The ladies at Alanda Craft have created a handy chart showing how many squares of just about any size can be cut from a yard of fabric.
Above is an abbreviated version. Quantities are given for squares up to 20.5 inches for fabric widths from 39″ to 42″ (after cutting off the selvages).
