Rather than trimming the squares down 1/4 I would have just made my sashing strips 5 inches wide. Trimming them makes no sense to me either.

I didn't trim any off, it sounded like a waste to me too. I think the creator wanted to get rid od the pinking-at least that's how it seemed to me. Some people are bothered by it. i sewed the charms at their original size and adjusted the sashing length accordingly.
I took the leftover squares and pieces from the sashing, added white and made a little pinwheel quilt.
I like the tumbler pattern and DP9. They are easy and fun, and look great.
I had no idea what you guys were talking about...had to go back and look a couple of times...I just did my first tumbler with my charms package and love it!
I am glad I did not see that site...I just left the little pinking edges on--double cutting? no way!
I came here to lurk and find more charms patterns as I think I might have a new addiction to them...I hate it when the daily deal is a charm pack, because I am compelled to buy it and a few more! But, I am going to try and not buy until I actually know what I am going to make with it...I need to destash or else, I will be in the S. A.B.L.E. club for a long long time! (stash accumulated beyond life expectancy)
I think I am going to try the DP9 next!!!
I can relate... i think i am the president of that club,,, a lifetime member... i actually moved 9 yrs. ago and have a wall of fabric, without a big dent in it... but hey... i'm sober, don't smoke and stay home a lot... LOL
I too want to try the tumbler...
ps... i am a nut for the DD... today i bought the book and a layer cakes (gotta make the 5 bucks count..LOL0
here's my trick.... buy the DD charm etc.. then keep a list and buy again or when reduced... i'm building up a collection, and helping the MSQC get their new location "ship shape"....My pleasure.... hugs B

I took the x's and o's pattern for the block and laid them out differently and loved the look.....had them all point in the same direction in rows and it made a cute table topper...I used white little squares and the charm pack Farmer's Market...came out really cute!
