    You could buy the Layer Cakes (10" squares) and cut into 4 5" squares of each.
    Perhaps you could find other Board members to share

    Kinda puts the whole thing in perspective.

    Here's an Etsy shop that sells that fabric. Notice theirs is a smaller number of charms.

    I don't buy the precuts. Why pay to have them cut your pieces? I don't get it. Pay more? Why? I can still cut.
