"As to the Lakeside Resort, this is Moda's swatch photo for the collection. If you can still locate other venders with this group you will see that they are using the same photo. If you look into the item description, you will see that we always have photos showing the entire group and there you will see that this is fabric panel, and not cabins on 5" squares. "

This is the response I got from customer service. I emailed back and asked if they had the panel and they haven't answered yet.

That is one of the things I LOVE LOVE LOVE about Missouri Star Quilt! Any precuts they have posted on the site, they have an adjoining link that shows the ENTIRE collection in that precut selection. Sometimes, I've seen charms or layer cakes for sale that show a multicolor print as the top square, but when I've looked at the whole selection, I didn't care for several other prints in the collection. Not all shops show it that way, as far as I've seen Missouri Star Quilt always does. It does help to have several shops & sites that you are familiar with & know how they show what they sell and also how friendly their customer service is.
I have that same set of charms but also got the panel for it from a different shop, so that I could use them together. You might also find some jelly strips that would coordinate or pull them together. If it was a good deal, I'd find a way to use them.

This is what I would try to do. I'd call this false advertising - and there's a lot of that going on.

do you want to tell us the site, so others can beware of this site.

The charm pack has NONE of that. After some research, it looks like those are on a panel. The website has no indication of that at all, I would have ordered a panel if I had known. grrrr!

Good information. I haven't purchased on line. I usually make my own charms and have plenty in my stash

If you're unable to use them, try to return them.

I'm not sure it's the seller's fault. Most of the precuts come from the manufacturer already cut and packaged. She could have purchased the charm packs anywhere and had the same result.

Very true. I've looked at places and seen names like "rustic lodge" fabric and there isn't much about the fabric that is rustic--and there is not a sign of a lodge on the fabric--but it all manages to coordinate and some fabric somewhere might have a lodge--but most of it is just coordinating colors. It can be frustrating, actually, if you are looking for a special theme fabric.
