Please help. I haven't used charms and am wondering about the quality of the fabrics. I recently made a D9P baby quilt out of FQs and found that the quality of the fabrics were quite inconsistant. Some of them stretched so much more than others that it was hard to match seams. Maybe they had been cut on the bias. I wanted to use them up though before purchasing more fabric.

So I thought I would ask the talented quilters here if the fabrics in Charm Packs work well together before I buy some. Cutting all of the 81 5/5 squares for the nine blocks I used took me a few hours and then I had to square all of them before starting to sew. All of that standing had my osteoporosis aching and my right arm was very sore and painful that night. My DH asked if I couldn't buy some already cut. Of course I told him yes. He told me to get some before I do another D9P quilt. I told him I would. :)
