*The number of squares and the number of light and dark fabrics in a charm pack varies with each collection. The "charm" of a charm quilt is the mix of fabrics and value. For the fabric requirements we are assuming charm square packs have 40-5"x 5" squares and an equal mix of light and dark fabrics. Fabric requirements are also given for fat quarters. From each fat quarter cut 3–5"x 22" strips then cut 12–5"x 5" squares. All that said, let's make a quilt!
