    Smile Charm square help please

    I have been looking for floral charm squares, like the ones Keepsake Quilting have, but everyone seems to have Moda charm squares, and they only have a few flowers in a packet the rest is filled up with blenders/background.
    Could anyone recommend where I could purchase some stunning flower charm squares
    Thank you

    I think you have to make your own.

    Premade charm square packs from the manufacturer (like Moda) usually have 1 of each print in a line (depending on the # of prints in the line, there may be some duplicates). Since the line normally includes blenders and/or solids along with the prints (small, medium and/or large scale prints), these are included the charm packs.

    If you're wanting specific prints like flowers only, you'll probably have to make your own or find someone who makes their own and sells them on a site like eBay.

    Craftsy just introduced new flowered charm squares. Their prices don't seem TOO outrageous.
