4 Charm Packs are Layer Cakes little sister. Similar to Layer Cakes, you will get about 40 pieces
of fabric, and typically you can find at least one if not multiples of each pattern featured in that
particular line. The fabric measures 5” x 5” and works in many appliqué designs.
5 Just when you thought it couldn’t get any smaller, here comes a Mini Charm Pack! The littlest
sister in the Layer Cake family, the 42 pieces of fabric included measure 2.5” x 2.5”.
Other tips:
Do you typically shy away from busy, bright prints? Buying pre-cut bundles are a great way to
slowly introduce bold designs into your projects. Choose a couple of print pieces from your
bundle, then add some solid fabric that matches.
Are you totally obsessed with your recent purchase and want to use it in a big project? Plan
to purchase yardage of the fabric as soon as possible because most bundles are the current
season’s designs, and once they are gone - they are gone! Nothing is worse than heading to your
fabric shop a year later to find the fabric is all gone!
When creating a quilt with dominant patterns, simply pull in solid fabrics in a color found within the
pattern. Use the fabric to choose matching thread to avoid an overly busy project. Some bundles
will include multiple busy prints, so don’t feel like you need to use them all in one project!
Note: The term Jelly Roll, Layer Cake, and Charm Pack were created by Moda. Many fabric
designers offer pre-cuts with unique names in similar sizes.
