I have made 2 falling charms quilts and LOVE making them. I bought the June Tailor Shape Cutter and LOVE it. Makes cutting SO easy and it's so exciting to get straight cuts.
The first quilt I made I used cheap "sheeting" fabric and Big Lots charm pack to try to out the pattern. Came out okay but was disappointed in sheeting fabric. I will keep that one for myself and I'm hoping the quilting will give it more stability.
So I made the pattern again using nice lavender Kona from Hobby Lobby and the leftover charms that I bought from Big Lots. I added a few pieces from my stash that I cut to charm size and ended up making HUGE queen size quilt....love it. It's 88 charms with 8 rows across and 11 down.
I figured out that I can get 8 charms on one strip for 5" side and 6 charms for 7" side. I am very frugal and put them really close together and it was so great to have just little pieces of scraps when I cut them apart.
I have to figure out how to post a picture so will be trying to figure that out next. I used purple for the background on both quilts...really nice. Off to figure out posting picture!
