    Don't mean to show my ignorance here, but what is the difference between a "charm pack" and a "layer cake" other than $20 in the price in the catalog. What do those terms mean? I haven't done any quilting for many years and this is new to me.

    Here is a great site that explains it all, with links to patterns to use with them too!

    Charm packs are 5 inch squares, the layer cakes are 10 inch squares

    Thank you for your explanations. When I took up quilting, there were fat quarters, but we never went to the "bakery".

    Sure enough now, you didn't know you were joining a baking club, did you? LOL
