A "fat quarter" is a cut of fabric that measures 18" x 22".
A "regular" quarter yard measures approximately 9" x 44".
A fat quarter and a quarter yard are the same amount of fabric.
OPTION #2: Buy 1 yard of LIGHT for your background color.
Buy four or more quarter yard cuts off the bolt for your
colored fabrics.
OPTION #3:
The easiest option is to buy 1 yard background color and one yard of colored fabric.
SASHING, BORDER & BINDING: ONE YARD TOTAL
The strips of fabric that go between the blocks are called "sashing".

"Binding" is what covers the very edge of the quilt so there are no raw edges.
