I just had to trim down a 5" charm pack - was almost 1/4" overcut. I save scraps & have quilters give them to me along w/salvedges. I love scrappy & make string quilts on muslin foundations so I don't have to add batting. These are then backed, bound & donated. I call them "sleeping porch quilts" or "car quilts." Just enough when you don't need too much warmth. Have fun.
