I've been looking through my fabric and noticed that I have quite a few Fat Quarters. I've been buying some charm packs too. They are so cute! At the time of purchase, I didn't have a pattern in mind. However, I've now read that I need two charm packs for most patterns. There are lots of great patterns in this book for 5" charms and 10" layer cakes.
TWO charm packs make a 36 x 36 quilt (approximate size). I didn't know that. Of course I can add from my stash to make it work.
Here is another chart for Fat Quarters that is helpful from
Harvest House Quilting.
