fabric widths vary from between 30" and 60"
often quilting cottons are somewhere around 40" sometimes a lucky find is 44" or 45"
but it is normal to find them 36" ...54"...60"
you should ALWAYS check the end of the bolt- it tells you alot more than the price!
it tells you fiber content- width- thread count-
manufacturer- and even washing instructions.

Thank you for the 40" fabric width advice.
When you purchase fabric it usually states that they are 44" - 45" wide - but you are right- I have been organizing my fabric & have noticed that some selvages are much wider than others
It ptobably went out with the 1/2 gallon of Ice Cream - Breyer's is - I believe - is now 1.75 quarts
