fat half

fat half
   , fat quarter
   terms used in fabric retailing to indicate that an order is cut only half the width of the bolt. For example, if a bolt is 44 inches wide, a yard of fabric is a piece one yard long and 44 inches wide, that is, 36 inches by 44 inches. An ordinary half yard of the fabric would be 18 inches by 44 inches. To cut a fat half, a full yard (36 x 44) is cut in half parallel to the edges of the bolt, that is, a fat half is 36 inches by 22 inches (1 yard by half the width of the bolt, in general). Similarly, a fat quarter is 1/2 yard by half the width of the bolt (18 inches by 22 inches, in our example).
