There are 4 fat quarters in a yard of fabric.
When fabric comes off the bolt it is stored on, it is folded in half so that the selvedge ends are touching. To cut a fat quarter, a half yard is cut from the bolt of fabric. This half yard is then cut in half along the fold, resulting in a quarter yard of fabric (half of a half is a quarter).
The fat quarter is used often in quilting because it provides more usable space for quilters than a standard quarter yard cut. A standard quarter yard is 9 inches wide, by the width of fabric on the bolt (anywhere between 40-44 inches is standard width of fabric). A fat quarter is wider, but less long at 18 inches wide by 20-22 inches long.
Even though the fat quarter has a different length and width than a standard quarter yard cut, it still represents a quarter yard of fabric. Since four quarters make a whole, each yard of fabric can be cut into exactly 4 fat quarters.

What is two fat quarters of fabric equal to?
2 fat quarters would be 1/2 yard. A fat quarter is 1/4 yard of fabric, but instead of cutting the quarter yard from selvage to selvage ( 9 inches ) it is cut at 18 inches and then cut in half. This way you have a wider piece of fabric to work with, but still have 1/4 yard.
How much is a fat quarter in a fabric?
Dedicated quilting fabrics are made to a width of 44 inches and generally fabric is bought in lengths of (or multiples of) a yard. A "fat quarter" is a piece of fabric which measures 18 inches by 22 inches, that is, a yard of fabric cut in half both widthways and lengthways to give four quarters of 18"x22" each.
If you have a bed 39 x 75 how many yards of fabric do you need to buy?
This depends on the pattern you are using. The basic formula for simple yardage is: divide the number of inches you need by 36 (a yard = three feet) THEN add one half inch for EACH seam in your pattern per side. (this allows each fabric in a given seam to have a quarter inch seam allowance. adjust for your own seam allowance, some people use 1/8th inch seams) So, the basic answer for a 39x75in bed, is 1 1/6th yard (1yd+6in) x 2 1/12 (2yd+3in) (PS, using fat quarters is a great way to get the yardage for your pattern and have a good mix of colors. They are often sold in five peice sets giving you five quarters of a yard each. If you bought two sets, you would have 1/2yd each of 3 colors.)
What does fat eight mean in quilting?
The terms "fat eighth" and "fat quarter" are used to describe a piece of fabric that has been cut from the bolt from the selvage to the fold, and 1/8 or 1/4 yard long. Normally, fabric is 44" wide, from selvage to selvage, and a normal 1/8 yard would measure 4.5" X 44" and a 1/4 yard would measure 9" X 44". These dimensions don't allow you to make very big pieces. To solve this problem, the quilting stores will cut a fat eighth 22" (from the edge to the fold) X 9" long, and a fat quarter is 22" X 18". Since it is cut half as wide, and twice as long as a "normal" eighth or quarter, it has the same number of square inches, but is a much more usable shape.

Where can you buy Superman print fabric to make pillows for grandchildren I would also like Spider Man and batman fabric?
Both are available on EBAY, and in looking for Superman, I did see a couple that were selling only fat quarters which would be enough for one pillow if you make double side seam. The whole yards were going for about $7. It's easy to compare prices, it's mostly the same fabric and there isn't a lot. They also have fleece superman fabric, costing more of course. There is a superman knit available somewhere but like the fleece, wouldn't make good pillowcases.
