Yellow Brick Road?
#1
I have order the YBR pattern. I know it calls for FQ. But I have found some charm packs I want to use. Is there a way use the charm packs in the YBR. I would like to know before I buy them. Or should I use FQ or yardage.

no- charm packs are 5" squares- the yellow brick road pieces are not square- and are larger than 5"
charms will not work- sorry...unless you want to sew them together and make your bricks pieced.

you really need to cut all the pieces it calls for just because that is the way the pattern works - you will end up with a couple of extra blocks but none of the pieces are that size (Charm)

You can also cut this pattern using yardage. I do it all the time as I never buy fat quarters. I have a small drawer full of FQ's that I have received as gifts or prizes but these are often raided by DD. They are pretty but nothing matches so I do better just using my yardage from stash.
