I'm with you I thought they were only 5"

I agree, I cut the larger sized charms because you can sub-cut them if you need to. I use the 5 & 6 inch charms.

I have been using 4" and 5" for 2 disappearing 9-patch quilts; I've seen them with 6", too large, loses its effectiveness
I use 2 1/2", 3" and 3 1/2" for other tops My 1 1/2" day are over. I made my Postage Stamp years ago. I sometimes do a checkerboard border with them though. I'm using 6" and 8" squares to make 2 quilts with sports,animals and New England looking fabric for the 2 sons of neighbors who've been very kind and helpful to me. They'll be a surprise this winter. Charms, by the way, have been around forever, long before Moda fabrics even existed. |
Well then if that's the case about breaking rules then I like all the sizes. But I like the 5in most, I have to get a templet for that size.

I had a few made at my local glass shop. They made them in about 1/4" thickness of some kind of plastic. If you go that route - tell them accuracy is critical. |

I really like the 5". I also like the 10" layer cakes.
