    In random LQS's around here I see them. I got a couple of Moda layer cakes and some charm packs in Saskatchewan. My LQS carries a pitiful sekection of Moda pre-cuts and no others except their own that they cut and I'm with you. Hate the colors, lol. I did find a Canadian online source that has a pretty large sekection and excellent prices but I haven't ordered (yet). I will PM you details. I have ordered online from the US - from M* on Freaky Friday and once from Fat Quarter Shop. The s/h and exchange kills me.

    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    If you are making a d4p, I would not use anything smaller than 5". I have a d4p that I am quilting now, but took FOREVER to piece, because I am OCD about my seams matching and there are a lot of small seams to match. using 5"charms, a finished square comes out to 8.5". My quilt is twin size, so it took 77 finished squares plus a 6"border. with 5fat quarters and some yardage, you should be able to get a good wall hanging using a d4p pattern.

    Wendy,

    They are such cute charms you have there.

    Re. charms in general, the things are addicting ... at least for me. Thankfully I have not a bunch of "extra" money for I'd surely be amassing a heapa bunch.

    Now, I'm off to check to see IF you completed something after all the quit divas suggestions.
