    I have 4 charm packs of Moda's Civil War Reunion by Barbara Brackman and wondered how much fabric would I need for the backing and border? I have heard 5 charm packs make a twin sized quilt.
    I am having trouble finding the above fabric in yardage, any ideas? I have searched quite a few websites already.
    Thanks,
    Pat

    To find fabrics online, use one, or all, of the fabric search engines.

    Thanks, I found a site www.marthasquiltingcorner.com and got 6 yds for the back and 2 yds for the border (hope that is right)!
