Charm square help please
 
I have been looking for floral charm squares, like the ones Keepsake Quilting have, but everyone seems to have Moda charm squares, and they only have a few flowers in a packet the rest is filled up with blenders/background.
Could anyone recommend where I could purchase some stunning flower charm squares
Thank you

I think you have to make your own.

Premade charm square packs from the manufacturer (like Moda) usually have 1 of each print in a line (depending on the # of prints in the line, there may be some duplicates). Since the line normally includes blenders and/or solids along with the prints (small, medium and/or large scale prints), these are included the charm packs.

If you're wanting specific prints like flowers only, you'll probably have to make your own or find someone who makes their own and sells them on a site like eBay.

yes cut your own-pre cuts are so inaccurate you will want to cry trying to use them

Craftsy just introduced new flowered charm squares. Their prices don't seem TOO outrageous.

i get alot of my charm squares on ebay they have differnet sizes and you can find them in any type of fabric and to be honest they are cheaper than the quilt shops although i do buy alot there too i love moda fabric i just cant help myself sometimes lol. i like jelly rolls too and i buy several of those too some on ebay and some at the quilt shops as well although sometimes i have to wait for a sale.

I would make my own since you are correct the packs don't seem to have just flowers. Or you might try entering or organizing a flower charm square exchange. Patrice could help you with this.

Why not post in the "in search of" section of this board... And swap with some board members.
