Decisions, Decisions

Madeline, Madeline..........

I am starting to wish that I had ordered the French General fabric. This is such a pretty pattern. So I have been trying to decide how to make this pattern. One little hint about using yardage for a charm pack pattern -

1/4 yard = 8 squares
1 fat quarter = 12 squares
1/2 yard = 24 squares
3/4 yard = 40 squares
1 yard = 56 squares

    The French General fabric would be lovely made up in that pattern. It is very nice fabric I agree to that.

    Thanks for doing the math. I would have kept on just guessing how much I need. Jump in with some fabric you have...but I too have coveted the French General.

    I got that little quilt calendar I see in your background for Christmas from my daughter, and I see yours is on the 12th too.

    I just got this sweet little pattern too. Except I kinda cheated and ordered 2 of the Rouennaires charm packs to do it with! I'll check back to see what fabrics you chose :-D

    Hey -- thanks for the tip on charms/yardage! That's great! I've been putting Madeline off myself, because I haven't figured out what fabric to use either! I can't wait to see what you pick--I may have to copy (LOL)!
