How we work it out

  1. Your bundle becomes the prints. Every print piece in the blocks can come from any piece of your bundle, the way a scrappy quilt is made.
  2. We cut it on paper. Each fat quarter, charm or strip is cut the way you would at the table: strips, then pieces, packed so nothing usable is wasted.
  3. We grow the quilt one row of blocks at a time until your bundle runs out, and keep the biggest size it covers completely.
  4. The rest is a shopping list: background, borders, binding and backing, to the ⅛ yard.

Fat quarters are planned as 18 × 21", fat eighths 9 × 21", charm squares 5", layer cake squares 10" and jelly roll strips 2½ × 42". Want the background from your stash too? Add how many yards you have.
