Hi Sunrise,
Someone else may have a better answer but I figure about 2/3 yd per charm pack. So for the yardage Judy gave at the beginning (1/2 + 3/4 + 1= 2 1/4 yds), you would need about 3 1/2 charm packs. And that's if you can use all the squares. Hope my figuring is right.

Note to self. Do not leave fabric on the floor unattended if you have a cat who likes to pee in strange places. He's old and can't help it. I should know better. I thought it was only my socks that he liked to pee on. Poor guy.

Slight delay in fabric selection.

Cathy, that is a great pattern to use some of your scraps...my guess is you have a pretty healthy stash.

Hi all. I hope to board the train. I have a question that may be stupid, but I'm going to ask anyway. How do you determine if a fabric is dark or medium dark? I tend to gravitate towards bright jewel tone fabrics. I appreciate all the tips I can be given.
