That is sooo pretty. I have two packs of Moda Charm packs and have been debating on what to do with them. I think you made up my mind. How large a quilt are you making?
I'm so new at this and am not right now of the mind to get the calculater out. Somebody please do the work for me so I have more time for reading here on the board - LOL! If only I could so easily request someone come do my housework for the same reason. How large a quilt could I make with 2 charm packs. I have not made any quilts other than 2 rag quilts. I make all kinds of table toppers, purses, etc - fast projects. I'm really probably only interested in making a lap quilt - would that be enough?
Thanks, Pat

I really haven't decide yet on how big this one will end up .... probably full or queen size.
If you have 2 charm psacks with 42 pcs each that would roughly get you a quilt 40x40 (finished piece) (using this pattern & with no border).
Add a border and you would have a lovely lap quilt!

Thank you - I really wanted to start with a lap quilt - I'm afraid I'd be too overwhelmed starting a queen size quilt. Besides that, I've done no quilting other than SITD and I'm getting kind of tired of that. Maybe this will be something I can learn on.
I've already given my sweety a picture of the tumbler template I need. He cuts them from plexiglass for me.
Oh, another question. Do you lay out the whole quilt with your charms for a pattern before you start or do you just pick them randomly?
Again, thanks! Pat
