Here is an example. The kit is $40

The pattern alone is $6.50

Two charm packs can be bought for $15 on eBay, 40 charms each.

Then 1/4 yd border and 1/3 yd binding. Shopping around for the collection you might be able to do it at half the cost of the kit. Or find a fabric at Whittle's that you like to go with the charms and get a yard for $3.50. Look for free shipping on eBay too, that can add up. Or see if the eBay seller has yardage of the collection and combine shipping. Better yet if you have something already for that little bit of border and binding. Might be able to find the pattern for less too, I didn't look for that.
