how big are charm pack squares??

[WendyI]

I have these fabrics that I adore and I thought I would make a disappearing four patch...yes I just read another post and then watched Jenny's video. I wish I could order charm packs from M* but it's just too expensive to do that.

So I have these fabrics and some white.



Picked them up at Walmart and I have two "5 piece bundles" with each piece measuring 18 x 21.

Could I make a quilt out of that? using some white?

Charm squares are 5" on each side. You have 5 fat quarters in your bundle, and because of the size (18 x 21), you can get 12 charms from each piece; you'll also end up with some extra fabric. But if you're willing to work with smaller pieces, you could cut your charms at 4.5" each; then you'd come up with 16 (smaller) charms, and still some left over.

I think if you use some white strips for sashing, you could either do a falling charms or just a really simple 4- or 9- patch with sashing. Very cute fabrics!

Wendy I absolutely love you and every thread you start. But I had to giggle at your question about how big charm squares are. Have you just not been here long enough yet. Or you have been working so hard lately, the information flew out of your thoughts.

Anyway, I love fat quarters. They are my new best thing to buy. You get a good amount of fabric in a variety. Those colors are going to make an awesome quilt. Cant wait to see it.

I had to giggle too but glad Karen said it first. Take a little break and relax and veg out in front of the tv or something.

I'm always really shocked by how much you can make with charm packs! You will definitely be able to get a nice quilt with the two bundles - baby sized for sure! Remember my Flutterby quilt? That was only 6 fat quarters and a yard of fabric (not including binding).

How many charm packs does Jenny say for the Disappearing 4 Patch?

There are some ideas here about cutting up fat quarters so, maybe, suggesting different block constructions.

Instead of a D4P what about a D9P that makes it's own sashing. Just as cute and a little less work.
