If you go to a fabric store, they always have little pre-cut fabric pieces called "Fat Quarters". They measure around 18 inches by 21 inches. It is just nice to buy these sometimes so that you don't have to wait in line to get something cut and you only need a little bit of fabric. They usually are more expensive than if you just had the people cut you 1/4 yard of fabric, but I find them convenient. Fat Quarters are available at almost any fabric store, even JoAnns. The mat that the fabric is laying on is like a cutting board for fabric. It is a self-healing mat that you use a rolling cutter to measure and cut fabric. It works like magic. Here is a picture of what it is: http://www.fiskarscrafts.com/tools/t_2-piece-quilting-set.aspx OCJEN, Those are good questions, of course I am not laughing!
