SIMPLE STRAIGHT LINE SEWING uses 5" CHARM SQUARES! 3rd in our series to use charms or scraps!

Watch all the way to the end to see two finished samples and our clever hack to use up fat quarters instead of buying a backing! This pattern is called Charm Tuesday and I have slightly altered the directions to make it a little easier to make quickly! How fast can you make this quilt?

I love charm packs! Those cute little bundles of fabric lure me in and make me buy them.
Now I need to start using them before the collection I have overwhelms me! Fortunately there are hundreds of awesome projects that use charm packs to make anything from full sized quilts to baby quilts to bags and more! We will be using charm packs for all of the projects in this series of videos but leftover fabrics from projects cut into 5" squares will also work! Most of the videos will include a sample made from a charm pack (or two or three or more) AND a sample made from leftovers from other projects.

Make your own charm packs! Cut up your stash and create your own charm packs using fabric you already own. One fat quarter can be cut up to make 12 five inch squares. A third of a yard of fabric can be cut up to make 16 five inch squares. When you finish a project, if you have leftover yardage, cut it into five inch squares and start a pile to use for future projects. Have some fun with your stash of fabrics!
