Hi all.

I'm working on a English paper pieced quilt using 1930s reproduction fabric but I am trying to have no repeats on my squares. I posted an ISO post in the Classifieds section of the board but I was also wondering if anyone knew of anyplace online that sold charm packs of these prints. I need so, so many prints but just need such a small amout of each one. I can't really even justify buying fat quarters to get what I need, there would be too much waste.

I see so many beautiful reproduction prints out there but can't find very many in small amounts. Most of the charm packs that I find when I search are from Moda and they don't really have any reproduction lines at the moment. I'd love to find a charm pack with the 30s fabric from Windham, Blue Hill, or RJR.

Any help at all would be appreciated. Cheers.

I got mine at Connecting threads. I like charm packs because you get a big selection of fabrics and no waste.

I would make sure the seller has good feedback. I have bought some that were not cut even, about 1/4 inch short on some ends. Good luck

This would give you more than you're looking for, but a good way to get an assortment (and who doesn't love scraps? ;) )

I bought from them based on recommendations from other QB members, and was very pleased.

Keepsake quilting has them and there is no shipping 6/16 thru 6/19

This is a really good seller - I've bought hundreds of fat quarters from him and he's great. The last batch of 40 1930's repros I bought from him was an especially pretty one, but he's had great Civil War batches, Jinny Beyer, Debbie Mumm & black & white. Always ships fast and whatever he pays for shipping is what you pay for shipping.

Thanks so much for all the responses. I really appreciate it.

Keepsake Quilting sounds just like what I was looking for. I have a couple of questions though. First, will the fabric in the charm pack be from name-brand, quilt shop fabric or is it an "in house" fabric and design? Second, does anyone know if I order two packs if they will be exactly the same or if I will then have 100 different charms?

Thanks again for all the help and suggestions.
