Did You Know....?

If you were to cut up your stash, how much fabric would you need to make your own bundle?


Jelly Rolls- 2 1/2" strips, cut the WOF. Normally there are 40 strips equaling the need for approx. 2 3/4 + yards.

Charm Packs- 5" squares usually having 40 squares. Equaling the need for approx. 1 1/8 + yards. 

Layer Cake- 10" x 10" squares usually having 40 squares. Equaling the need for approx. 2 3/4 + yards.

Fat Rolls- 5" wide strips by the WOF. Usually having 40 strips equaling the need for approx. 5 1/2 + yards. 

Turnovers- 6" triangles usually having 40 triangles. Equaling the need for 1 yard.

Sweet Rolls- 1 1/2" strips by the WOF. Usually having 40 strips. Equaling the need for 1 3/4 yards. 


WOF-Width of fabric--selvage to selvage.
+-Meaning you might need slightly more.
All commercially bundles are sold from a coordinating fabric line.

You might be wondering why the need for these numbers? 
I am working on several projects that require either background or coordinating fabric in the same yardage as the bundle packs and I thought if I needed these numbers--you might too!
