A CHARMING FINISH

“If I taught at Quilters’ Finishing School, I’d teach the students to make triangle labels for all their quilts. Fold a square in half diagonally. The two raw-edge sides are sewn into your binding with only one side left to hand stitch!”

~Pat

Charmed, I’m Sure!

from PAT SLOAN

Pat Sloan (PatSloan.com) is at her most charming when she’s teaching others to quilt!

What charms me most about charm packs is that I love having a piece of the full range of fabrics in a line. It helps me with my fabric choices!

Same or different? If you’re making a project with multiple charm packs, are you more likely to use two or three of the same collection or from different collections? Same.

This works like a charm for me every time: Using the half-square triangle reference chart in my Teach Me To Sew Triangles book.

About those pinked edges, here’s my advice for taking them into account when you sew: I consider them part of my charm and measure from the outside point. They don’t bother me at all.

Besides a 5" charm-square, my other go-to precut shape is a nice, big, Layer Cake square. Because it’s 10", I can do so much with it!

If I had to pick a “lucky” charm out of a charm pack, I’d choose one that has dots. I’m CRAZY for dots! It’s delightful to find a beautiful, yummy dot in my charm pack.

In Charm School, you learn the social graces. But in Quilter’s Charm School you learn that your charm pack is an amazing design unit that, when paired with a blender, will make 84 half-square triangles. In turn, those can turn into a zillion different quilt designs!
