I love Charm Packs, they are all cut and ready to GO. I seem to pick-up the 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ a lot more than the larger sets. It’s the more is better way….my mind works.
I needed a little project to take to my quilt group and so here we go ! ! Finished quilt is 36″ x 36″ perfect for a lap quilt.
One Charm Pack of 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ – 42 squares
OR just
Cut 42 assort colors – 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″
White about 1/2 yard
I used Black and binding about 3/4 yard
Border about 1/2 yard
I used all scraps from my closet for everything but the charm pack.
Good shop owner’s always have these at the cutting tables and I always purchase !
This is the one I’m using
Cut 2 Strips of 2 1/2″ white fabric or
Cut 42 White – 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″
