Number of Duplicates in Layer Cakes and Charm Packs
#13
I've gone through a number of Moda layer cakes, and in general I see a handful of duplicates in each pack. Once in a while on a smaller line there will be a triplet or two. When I am cutting my own layer cakes (for specific patterns) I try to make sure I have a good balance of light v. dark pieces (50/50 if I can get it), and an eye-pleasing mix of strong designs and colors v. solids, blenders, and more "restive" pieces.

I think it depends on how many fabrics are in a collection and how many color ways. The Ruby charm packs have the same prints but in different color ways and there is a pin dot fabric in each color way that there is 2 charms of each. Moda is consistent in keeping the count of their charm packs at 40-42.

The early Moda charm packs had varying totals of squares, from 30 to 40 or so, but they all seem to have 42 now. Layer cakes are 40-42. Duplicate prints depend on the fabric line, some lines have more designs and colorways than others.
Some manuf. (Benartex, RJR, Hoffman etc) have fewer total squares /strips, so you either get fewer prints or more duplicates, in my experience.

Moda charm packs have two of almost every fabric.
The total number is 40 pieces.
There were only 7 single fabric pieces in the last pack I bought.
Each of the Moda charm packs lists the color numbers on a card tucked inside the pack.
I hope that information helps.
