I really love charm packs -- I usually buy at least 2 and if I really like the fabric -- I buy 4 :roll:

Hi,

I can take care of a fabric line craving by buying one charm pack and making a table topper or runner from it and only buying yardage for borders and backing.
I did make a very large charm pack quilt....think I needed 8 packs of 42 squares each! It is gorgeous....but not all that much fun sewing squares together.
I love to play with charms....many patterns out there for runners and totes etc. from them

Have fun.....

I LOVE pre-cut sets of entire collections of fabric! :) Mostly fat quarters, layer cakes and charm squares. I'm not all that hot on strips, though, as I don't do a lot of stuff that needs this particular size. I can't even imagine how much I've actually spent on my stash of these goodies. I just can't help myself.

To answer the original question, I usually get 4-6 matching charm packs for a quilt and, if possible, a pillow sham.
