Mail Sack using Anna Maria Horner’s Drawing Room, home decor weight cotton sateen.
If you’ve cruised over to the shop you’ve most likely taken a peek at the Stack Packs, coordinating fabrics sold in fat quarter and one yard sets. The one yard sets give you a discount of 5% off the regular yardage price.
A new idea popped in my head regarding Stack Packs and these gorgeous home decor weight cottons. A fat quarter of 55/56″ fabric measures 18″ x 28″. Why not cut them as “fat 3/8 yard” so the piece measures 28″ x 28″? Enough fabric to create a simple 26″ pillow and contain a complete printing of the 24″ repeat.
This is where you come in. I need a name. Fat 3/8 Yard doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue like saying Fat Quarter. Play along by leaving a comment with what you would call this. Think outside the box. Be clever. Be funny. Be brilliant! The winning idea gets their choice of a Joel Dewberry Fat 3/8 Yard Stack Pack or you can wait and choose the upcoming Denyse Schmidt line of home decor weight cottons (gosh they’re beautiful, yummy colors). I’ll draw a second winner from everyone who participates.
(Anna Maria’s birds flew out of here rather quickly. I’m trying to get some more. There is a small amount remaining in the stack packs.)
The contest is open for a full week. I’ll announce the winners next Friday, June 20. Happy Wordsmithing!

Wow, so many great ideas/suggestions! I was thinking that since it’s bigger you can do different projects with it — what about:
Project Packs/Project Stacks
I love the bag pictured! I have the pattern and can’t wait to try it, but haven’t found the right material for it just yet.
So many good responses –
how about “tri-eight”
“TRIPLE EIGHT” I just thought of that one straight away, not sure if any one else said it…
How about:
Crafter’s Quarter??
oops, wait, someone already said something similar to that….how bout this?:
Mack’s Fat (Quarter)?
-or-
Kat’s Fat Stack Pack?
I didn’t read all the comments. So these might have already been suggested. But ….. I like “Pink Square” or “Pink Phat Pack”
Pink Quarter
oooh- I thought of more (and I have no idea what has been said so sorry if it’s a repeat)
Chalk Stack
Cutting Outside the Box Quarters
or
Cutting Outside the Box Squares
hmm…so many great suggestions already! what about a portly piece or a portly square patch?
Personally, I loathe the word “fat” and all its negative connotations (why yes, I am a bit sensitive – why do you ask? lol) How about “Great Three Eight?”
I like the way you think Tara. I like the energy of positive words
I really like Chalk Box and Bainbridge Squares and Granny Squares.
How about Kathy’s Kuts?
Your work is as always beautiful and inspiring!
Has anyone put in for “Big Fatty” yet?
How about Chalk Dust Stacks…?
or Chalk Dust Eighths.
Well, I clicked to comment with the intention of suggesting “fat square” but that has obviously been taken. So, instead I will suggest the name “chunky monkeys” – I would be curious enough to click with a name like that!
SixBits – as in two bits, four bits, six bits a dollar. Or Six Bitties, Bitty Sixes, Little Bitty Sixes, Little Bits………and on.
