I've had this fabric for years. How long? More than ten years. Sometime between 2010 and 2013 I was a member of the
Fat Quarter Shop's Moda Charm Pack Club. At the time, they would send me six charm packs by the same designer (the club has changed over the years but if you are in love with charm squares, or other pre-cuts, it might be perfect for you). I have stacks and stacks of these. Sometimes I even have a couple yards of coordinating fabric. Every once in a while I decide it is time to use up some of this fabric. That's where my charming quilts come from.
I grabbed my Accuquilt Go, the 4.5" half-square triangle (HST) die, and got cutting. Word of warning, there is almost no room for error when cutting 5" charm squares into HST units. I was careful and a couple of my pieces still have pinked edges. It won't matter when the quilt is finished, though.
This is the trimmings. What a mess! I had to grab my little vacuum to clean up the mess. I was covered in the little bits of cotton.
It took me 40 minutes to cut 252 squares into HST pieces. It will take much longer to sew them into HST units. That's the magic of quilting!
