When I am in a quilt shop I tend to buy myself a charm pack as a little treat, especially if I don't buy anything else. I also like to add them to an on line order to help aquire free shipping. I never regret it. Love charm packs!
Bloc lok rulers are expensive but you can turn any square ruler with diagonal line by placing a few layers of masking tape diagonally on the ruler. The tape gives you an edge to rest against the seam on a hst, measure and cut!
I made all three sizes of this pattern last year. On the layer cake one, I sent it out for quilting and when it came back I wanted it for my queen bed, I had a jelly roll of the fabric Id used and so I made a piano key border. I had just enough backing fabric to add it on. I'd never added to a quilt once it had been quilted before but it was surprisingly simple. Then for the charm size, I had 4 charm packs and I decided to make 4 identical quilts and sewed them all together to make a big one. They all turned out pretty and were fun to make. I would make one again! I like the way you broke down construction. I wished I'd thought of that but I'm glad to learn form your experience!
@@elestehorn4290 Yes, I did because I had 4 but you could use 4 different ones and make it really scrappy. But since I made mine identical (if I remember correctly) there were lots of leftovers.
@@nancybubenik7498 If you use the 2.5", 5" or 10" the instructions are the same but results in 3 different sizes. The pattern is free on the Moda website.
The sectioned approach to construction is a great tip, and so is the layout pieces! I've wanted to make this pattern but got overwhelmed by the long rows--- you've made it look much easier. These series are wonderful.
Thank you the ideas with the charm pack. I like the idea of coloring the help sheet and then cutting it apart in the sections needed. Great organizing technique.
I love all three of these!! Great instructions, and I really like it that the music is very quiet while you are sewing and allows to hear you when you talk. That is really appreciated as the music can be distracting and annoying!
Ich liebe wie gut sie die Arbeit erklären auch die Filme sind sehr gut vielen Dank freue mich schon auf die neue Serie herzlichen Dank liebe Grüße aus Germany from Sabine
I absolutely love charm packs for fabric previewing! It has saved me sooo much money because I buy most of my fabric online and it’s so hard to tell if I’m going to really love a fabric line in real life. I almost bought a whole fat quarter bundle last week but decided to get the charm pack instead and ended up not liking the fabric as much as I thought I would. Yay for this series! I was just trying to figure out what I should do with all these charm packs I’m accumulating 😄 Ps- this is also my favorite charm pack pattern. With some borders it makes a perfect baby floor quilt!
I made one similar for my dad. I divided the pattern into quarters. I worked great. I like yours as the pattern I was using was made as a layer cake pattern. It was fast but huge. Putting them in smaller sections like you had might have made it easier. Wish I'd seen yours earlier
I love all your different quilts a great idea for those charm squares we collect as you have said just because they are pretty🫣I love your backing fabrics especially the blue and pink stripe one 🦋
I just found your channel & subscribed because of the series you are doing. I love that you explain things so simply and clearly using the charm packs and our scraps. This will be a game changer for me. Thank you so much. Love your channel. ❤
I like charm squares and sometimes I buy four of them to make a bigger quilt. I just sew them all together. It is sew much fun. I like your pretty quilt. 🧵🌸
I’m making a Christmas quilt using 5 inch charm packs. I need (4) charm squares for each block with sashing in between. Using the charms I don’t have to cut squares and I’m getting of variety of the fabric line. Love this video today, well done!
Boy, do I ever need this series!! I just did a rough count and I have over 120 charm packs. When I first started quilting 3 years ago, they were affordable and so pretty that I bought so many, then realized that I wasn't sure what to do with them. So I started collecting layer cakes and 2.5 strips. I think I have enough fabric to outlive me.
Good Morning from Washington State. I finished cutting and sewing the hst yesterday. I put everything up on my project wall & boy did it pop!! I moved a couple of blocks around and then my husband came in and moved a couple more. I will start sewing it together later this afternoon. I am thinking of making a second one and turning it into a lap quilt using jelly roll strips between the squares. 😊
I ❤️ charm packs abd I ❤ how you suggested these get put together, too. That tip pinning the colored section with their respective pieces made it simple to build and stay organized! I also ❤ your simple cutting directions. Excellent tutorial! ❤🎉😅😊
All three are absolutely gorgeous, but I think the scrappy, colorful one with the piano key border is my favorite! And, I have been wracking my brain for a simple but beautiful pattern to make my best friend's new preemie baby. Im inspired, and now to go dig through my charm packs!
I've been following your series on using 2.5" strips. And I'm going to be a faithful follower of this series too. I never buy charm packs, but I do have a 5" accuquilt die!
My mom, my sister and I made this pattern. I did the mini with mini charms and taught my mom with the charm pack size. All three of us chose our own color way and we’ll all have a version of this pattern in our home 😊
I love charm packs, layer cakes and jelly rolls for the same reasons you mentioned! I too need to get busy sewing them up! I’m loving your videos and so glad they started popping up on my feed. I’m subscribed now so I won’t miss any. I also love precuts because I love the scrappy look.
I belong to a charm pack subscription. I have lots of charm packs and I love every one of them. That's why I am so excited about your new series. So far it's great.
I will definitely be following your series using charms. Besides buying charm packs, I cut lots of my leftover fabrics into 5" squares as I cut-to-store those leftovers. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your ideas. Thanks!!
I have bought only one Charm pack (and it was by Moda). I needed a kit in a hurry. That charm pack made it much easier to get the whole kit ready in one evening, for a class I was taking. The quilt was very pretty when I finished it. Everything matched very well. Your quilts are beautiful.
I love your series just like the 2 1/2 one, your block of the month,your state block which I am doing presently I am on my 27 th block. You are an inspiration. Where I am from I only have access on yardage fabric, you give tips on doing it different. Thank you. God bless.
Love ALL your videos. You are so great to listen to as well. There are several of your 2 1/2 inch quilt patterns I hope to do. Thank you for all you do. keep them coming.
I love your scrap pieces and the way you cut them so you could have perfect units of piano keys and I love the piano keys. I’ve just never boarded a quilt with piano scrap border. I must try that the next time I make a scrappy quilt.
I love how you plan your quilts and make scrappy look so beautiful!! I have colored the pages but never thought to color 2 and cut one into sections for sewing instructions! Learn so much every time and watch your videos. And your voice is pleasing to the ear and you don’t ramble! Sometimes with other videos I’m like will you get to the point already 😂. Love charm packs as well. Finished up 2 quilts this weekend using pre cuts!
I made the blocks for this pattern a couple of years ago. I put it away for those reasons we as quilters don't talk about. Because of your video, I pulled the blocks out. I put them on my design wall and saw a dog bed for our favorite Pit bull, Boss. Thanks!
Great video! I am looking forward to all your charm pack ideas. I not only have a nice little collection of charm packets but make a lot of quilts for children and have many hundreds of 5” charms cut from leftovers that I really need to start using. My designated storage boxes for 5” squares are pretty full, so time to sew!

Me too!

I also love charm packs!!! Plus, with today's economy, one or two of them is often all I can afford to get a fabric collection that I love.

Did you used 4 same fabric collection charms?
@@elestehorn4290 Yes, I did because I had 4 but you could use 4 different ones and make it really scrappy. But since I made mine identical (if I remember correctly) there were lots of leftovers.
how do you calculate the piano key border? I'm a newbie and would like to try this. Any help anyone can give is greatly appreciated.
Where did you get three sizes of this block, or did you just decrease the sizes of the half square triangles?
@@nancybubenik7498 If you use the 2.5", 5" or 10" the instructions are the same but results in 3 different sizes. The pattern is free on the Moda website.
Love love, love love love this block. Thank you keep them coming.❤
The sectioned approach to construction is a great tip, and so is the layout pieces! I've wanted to make this pattern but got overwhelmed by the long rows--- you've made it look much easier. These series are wonderful.
Your video was very well made with a very organized fashion. You also have a clear ,well enunciated voice!
I agree, excellent video! I like charms, mini charms, layer cakes, and jelly rolls.
It’s genius to do the coloring sheet and cutting it apart for each section! I have never seen that before! Thank you so much!
Thank you the ideas with the charm pack. I like the idea of coloring the help sheet and then cutting it apart in the sections needed. Great organizing technique.
You are the best! You explain everything so well and cut properly as you go. Thank you
Wow, thank you!
I have a lot of charm packs so this is great!
I thought I was fast at sewing, but you have got me beat. Love your efficiency.
I love all three of these!! Great instructions, and I really like it that the music is very quiet while you are sewing and allows to hear you when you talk. That is really appreciated as the music can be distracting and annoying!
So many good ideas! I will be cutting up scraps to make some piano key borders.
Ich liebe wie gut sie die Arbeit erklären auch die Filme sind sehr gut vielen Dank freue mich schon auf die neue Serie herzlichen Dank liebe Grüße aus Germany from Sabine
😊loved the ideas! I have a lot of charm packs and now I know how to use them! Thanks!
I love the scrappy one with Minky back.❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing
I loved the way you colored and cut your plan into pieces. Made much less confusing.
I love charm packs also.
This is the most organized sewing I have ever seen. Bravo.

Cute quilts. Great use of 5 inch squares and piano key borders
This is fabulous! The colouring sheet is a game changer for me !
The piano keys made a stunning quilt!
I loved your 2.5” strip series and now I have your charm squares series to look forward to. Thank you so much.
Boy, do I ever need this series!! I just did a rough count and I have over 120 charm packs.

I think you’d better start sewing!
I have the same problem! I turned one of my daughters' rooms into what I call my "mini Joann's fabrics"!
After watching this I immediately downloaded the pattern & made one of my most favorite baby quilts - all from my stash! Thank you!
I love how you used the printed pattern sheet to color in and organize tour blocks. Makes it so much easier to understand.

I love your tutorials, you explain so clearly. Thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Excited for this series! I look forward to your 2 1/2 inch strip projects every month, so it’s great to have another series.
I also have collected lots of charm packs! I enjoy your videos very much. Thanks for this new series.
They all are gorgeous!I love watching you working on them. Thank you for sharing.
I loved the last one with the piano key border! I liked the way you did the border as well. Will have to try that method. Thanks for sharing!
I ❤️ charm packs abd I ❤ how you suggested these get put together, too. That tip pinning the colored section with their respective pieces made it simple to build and stay organized! I also ❤ your simple cutting directions. Excellent tutorial! ❤🎉😅😊
Thanks for sharing. I love the color page idea.
All three are absolutely gorgeous, but I think the scrappy, colorful one with the piano key border is my favorite!

Thank you I love to watch you cut and sew it gives me hints on how to improve

Your quilts were so cheerful. Thanks for the hint to make quadrants rather than rows.
I'm looking forward to more charm pack quilts. I have a tote full of them!! Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
I’m so happy you’re doing videos for charming packs….I have a ton!
I ❤ God, coffee, cats, moose, trees, outdoors, funny grumpy old women, French blue and white patterns, all things Christmas and so so much more
❤
Very nice! I love how you cut up the paper pattern for a visual reference, that is such a great idea!
Thanks so much! 😊
You are amazing. Just love your colour sample put with sewing blocks. Excellent. Love charm packs as well. Beautiful video
Thank you so much!
Yay another series thankyou so much from Australia
I like the charm packs, layer cakes etc. because I’m not very good at getting colors that look well together. The packs are very helpful in that way.
I will definitely be following your series using charms. Besides buying charm packs, I cut lots of my leftover fabrics into 5" squares as I cut-to-store those leftovers. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your ideas. Thanks!!
Love this pattern -- great for layer cakes, too!
Love the double row of piano keys.
I have bought only one Charm pack (and it was by Moda). I needed a kit in a hurry. That charm pack made it much easier to get the whole kit ready in one evening, for a class I was taking. The quilt was very pretty when I finished it. Everything matched very well. Your quilts are beautiful.
I have over 300 packs of Charms…many of with I have 4 sets.
My favorites are florals.

Wonderful!
I started collecting charm packs when Missouri Star began doing the Daily Deals. I have a lot of them and I’m really looking forward to the projects!
Coloring chart great idea .... love your video on this great project... I’m going to try this with my charm packs
Thank you! I love this. I’ve been looking for a pattern for my 4 1930’s charm packs. This will be perfect!
Why do you have the small denim piece .
Thank you so much for your help with these projects 🤗!
Very bright and happy looking quilt
Great video…I love all the ways you finished these quilts!❤
I'm a beginner in quilt making. I'm learning a lot from you

Such a thought out approach! Thank you for creating this pattern redo
Beautiful work and great video presentation. Great job!
