    Default how many charm packs does it take to make a lap quilt?

    Hi I am new to this site and new to quilting. Can you tell me how many charm packs to I need to make lap quilt?
    I see the daily deals and want to add to my stash (which I hear is required of all quilters) but don't want to get too few of the packs.

    I would guess two, but if you sash and border, you could easily make it out of one charm pack.

    This download is a pattern of a baby quilt from the Gourmet Quilter, using 5" charms. The finished size is 42" X 42". You mentioned throw size, but I thought it might give you a jump-off point. You can always add rows!
    I really need to get off the exclamation point.
    It may give people the idea that I'm bright and cheerful all the time....

    First, determine the size of the quilt you want to make. Here is a link to a chart that is handy

    For a lap quilt I would say at least two would be good.

    CHARM PACK
    The standard charm pack has 42 pieces of 5 inch fabric.
    How Many
    Baby Size 1
    Crib Size 2
    Lap Size 3
    Twin size 5
    Queen Size 8

    The above is from a list of "How Many" that was on the MSQC blog. I copied the blog post and added it to my user notes if you want to see the entire chart. Just click on my name and go to my profile and find User Noted on the left, under my picture.
