A patchwork quilt is a quilt in which the top layer may consist of pieces of fabric sewn together to form a design.[1] Originally, this was to make full use of left-over scraps of fabric, but now fabric is often bought specially for a specific design. Fabrics are now often sold in quarter meters (or quarter yards in the U.S.). (A "fat quarter" is one square meter (or one yard by the width of the fabric, typically 42-44") folded into four and cut along the folds, thus giving a relatively square piece of fabric 50 cm on a side, as opposed to buying a quarter of a meter off the roll, resulting in a long thin piece that is only 25 cm wide).[2]
