I have order the YBR pattern. I know it calls for FQ. But I have found some charm packs I want to use. Is there a way use the charm packs in the YBR. I would like to know before I buy them. Or should I use FQ or yardage.

no- charm packs are 5" squares- the yellow brick road pieces are not square- and are larger than 5"
charms will not work- sorry...unless you want to sew them together and make your bricks pieced. |

you really need to cut all the pieces it calls for just because that is the way the pattern works - you will end up with a couple of extra blocks but none of the pieces are that size (Charm)

No the pieces are a different size.

Thanks for the info. The charm packs were on sale this week at 40% off. I was going to get them now if they would work.

Well.......... you could use the charms as some of the pieces but a lot of the cuts are larger than 5 inches.

You can also cut this pattern using yardage. I do it all the time as I never buy fat quarters. I have a small drawer full of FQ's that I have received as gifts or prizes but these are often raided by DD. They are pretty but nothing matches so I do better just using my yardage from stash.

Sorry, double post.
