charm pack and layer cake - what is a good one to buy?
Our church is having a dinner and I wanted to pull together a quilt pretty quick to donate. I bought a charm pack and layer cake.. thinking I could just quickly sew these blocks together for a simple quilt. Wow was I wrong. Only about half of the colors work together.. there is no way I can put these all on one quilt. Don't get me wrong.. the fabric is gorgeous.. just will not work for what I have in mind... I need something quick.[TABLE]

I will have to save these for another project...
In the mean time.. do any of you guys know of a layer cake or charm pack that the colors are coordinating enough to be able use on one quilt?
Please let me know
Thanks

It is pretty hard to know exactly what is in a charm pack unless they give you a picture of all the fabrics inside it. I just made the mistake of buying charm packs from sites that do not show the fabrics inside. This site give you a picture of the fabrics if you click on the name of the pack.

The pattern is from Missouri Star, called Double Slice Layer Cake. Just google that and it will take you to the video, in case it is a pattern you are interested in. It was very quick to put together.
I thought the fabrics went together well, which isn't true for all layer cakes....just my opinion there.
