5" charm pack perfect for 4" Drunkard Path quilt block
 
Fell in love with a 16DP layout I saw on Pinterest

Trying to figure out how to cut pieces using the 4 inch 2 piece template ruler without wasting too much fabric

Working it without a pattern per say, so maybe some of you may already know this

I looked for my small size Olfa rotary cutter to successfully cut the curves and ran into this beautiful flowery 5" charm pack

It works perfectly to easily and quickly cut through at least 4 layers both template w very little waste and I end up w the variety of fabrics I need

I'm so so pleased, I just had to share

Wish you posted the link so we could see the pattern. Hope that you post a photo while making this quilt.

Don't know how to post pics from my I phone

and this is how well the 4" DP template can be cut from the 5" charm pack with little fabric waste.

Love this pattern. I especially like how the hand quilting makes it look homey to me. Thanks for sharing.

I like her templates.......thanks for reminding me I have that one. Oh, curves are not hard, just sew slowly and surprise yourself!

I never thought of cutting those from a charm pack. Good idea. There are several layouts I have been looking at on Pinterest using that ruler. Pinterest has made my bucket list so much larger.
