I have 2 14" pillow forms and am not sure what size to cut the fabric to cover the pillows. I want to make sure that once sewn that the pillow form will fit. I wasn't sure if I cut it larger and if so, how much larger? Thanks in advance ladies.

A fat quarter is NOT a body part!!

Do not cut it larger. You need to cut it at about 14" and then your seam allowances [usually 1/2" in home dec seewing] will make it end up smaller so the form should fill out the cover. Pillow forms are certainly not created equal. You may need to cut it smaller to make it fill nicely or add some stuffing to the corners where there is usually not enough stuffing.
Honestly, I'd cut the fabric 15" square. That may be a bit too big, but you can always take the seam in some rather than worrying about it being too small.
