How we work it out
- 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.
- 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.
- We grow the quilt one row of blocks at a time until your bundle runs out, and keep the biggest size it covers completely.
- 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.
