Watch all the way to the end to our finished sample and get an update on the number of charm packs I've collected! This pattern is called "Charm Saturday" and I have altered the dark and light ratio to make the stars be more prominent! The pattern calls for eight charm packs and 5/8 yard for binding.
I have had my eye on this pattern for a while and finally made the time to try it out. It was worth the wait! I LOVE it!
i'm obsessed with charm packs! Those cute little bundles of fabric have so many uses and are easy to buy! You can get the whole line of fabric in 5" squares to try out a new designer or color palette.
My collection keeps growing instead of getting smaller so I need to start using them before the pile I have overwhelms me! Fortunately there are hundreds of awesome projects that use charm packs to make anything from full sized quilts to baby quilts to bags and more! We will be using charm packs for all of the projects in this series of videos. But leftover fabrics from projects cut into 5" squares will also work! Most of the videos will include a sample made from a charm pack (or two or three or more) AND some of the videos will include a second sample made from leftovers from scraps.
Make your own charm packs! Cut up your stash and create your own charm packs using fabric you already own. One fat quarter can be cut up to make 12 five inch squares. A third of a yard of fabric can be cut up to make 16 five inch squares. When you finish a project, if you have leftover yardage, cut it into five inch squares and start a pile to use for future projects. Have some fun with your stash of fabrics!
