I dont know why I keep buying these charm square packs. I guess I dont like the idea of not knowing whats in the stack. I recently bought a pack that is supposed to be Christmas fabrics for a yo yo tree wallhanging on Modabakeshop. The one in the picture was really cute and cheerful so I found the pack and background online. The pattern said the background was white so I bought exactly the one mentioned. Got the right background in my order but it is predominantly mint green and then found out that Moda doesnt even have a white version. The charm pack has so many un-christmas colors in it, none of which the bakeshop poster used. Lots of black and avocado greens which doesnt even begin to go with the mint green. The pattern calls for 21 yo yo's so I figured I would be able to make 2 wallhangings. I can if I substitute some of my own Christmas fabrics, which I will do. No more charm packs for me. I really like many of the patterns that call for the packs, but I can cut 5" squares myself. I know the packs are able to give you a lot of variety, but there are so many duplicates that the variety is pretty limited.
