The reason I ask, I saw a tutorial on Missouri Quilt Co. today where they had made a tumbler template to use with the 5" charms. There was very little waste of the 5" square. Would a tumbler that size be fairly large?
Mine is going to be 61.5x75. 154 Tumblers needed
1st boarder is 2" ,
2nd boarder will be 4"
I ordered 4 charm pack, there will some left and I am planning to make a matching throw pillow with.
Hope this gives you a general idea.

I've already given my sweety a picture of the tumbler template I need. He cuts them from plexiglass for me.
Oh, another question. Do you lay out the whole quilt with your charms for a pattern before you start or do you just pick them randomly?
Again, thanks! Pat

There have been a few times that I didn't and the last 3-4 pieces were the same print

Oh that's so neat! I'm working on a queen size bed quit using a 2.5 inch tumbler. :) It's a lot of fun, I've got over 200 blocks all of different fabrics cut and sewn together. I need a ton more, but I'm working on it! I don't plan on adding a border to it, but after quilting just bind with the angles - that looks awesome (IMHO).
Yours is so pretty, so light and airy!
