Inspired by a Missouri Tradition
Excelsior Springs is famous for its historic mineral waters and the World's Longest Water Bar. When we were dreaming up a unique shopping experience for our customers, we thought, "Why not create a bar for quilters?"
The result is our one-of-a-kind Fat Quarter Bar—a place where creativity flows just as freely as conversation. Instead of sampling mineral water, you're surrounded by beautiful quilting fabrics ready to become your next quilt, table runner, tote bag, home décor project, or handmade gift.
It's one of our customers' favorite places to browse because there's always something new to discover.
What Is a Fat Quarter?
A fat quarter is one of the most versatile cuts of quilting fabric. Unlike a traditional quarter-yard cut, a fat quarter measures approximately 18" x 22", giving you more usable fabric for quilting blocks, appliqué, bag making, and countless sewing projects.
Fat quarters are perfect for:
- Quilt blocks
- Baby quilts
- Table runners
- Wall hangings
- Tote bags
- Pillows
- Seasonal décor
- Scrappy quilts
- Jelly roll and fat quarter patterns
- Building your fabric stash
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced quilter, fat quarters are one of the easiest ways to add variety to your fabric collection.
Build Your Own Custom Bundle
One of the best parts of our Fat Quarter Bar is that you choose exactly what you want.
Instead of purchasing a pre-made bundle, you can hand-pick fabrics that match your project, favorite colors, or personal style.
