Black & White Supreme Charm Pack Bundle - 2 Packs, 84 Precut 5" Squares - 100% Cotton Solids

At a glance: Fabric: 100% cotton, quilting weight Quantity: 84 precut 5" squares Bundle contains: 1 x White Supreme charm pack, 1 x Black Supreme charm pack, 42 squares each Cut: 5" x 5" squares, pinked edges The two colours every scrappy quilt runs out of first. Prints are the fun part. Solids are the part that makes the prints work. Black and white are the two that do the most and disappear the fastest, because they are what you reach for when a block needs a background, a sashing, a border, or somewhere for the eye to rest. This bundle puts both in the drawer at once, 42 squares of each, so the next quilt does not stall halfway through for want of a neutral. What each one does White Supreme is the breathing space. A crisp, neutral white background lifts every print you set against it and keeps a busy quilt from closing in. It is the safest square in the box and the one you will use most. Black Supreme is the opposite job. It anchors. Set a bright print against black and the colour reads twice as strong, which is exactly why most scrappy quilts look washed out: they have no dark end. One black square between two florals does more than three more florals ever will. Why 5 inch squares The 5" charm square is the standard unit of patchwork, which means these drop straight into almost anything you already sew. Cut one in half and you have two 2.5" x 5" pieces, the same unit our mini strips give you, so black and white from this bundle mix into any of our precut collections without any arithmetic. Features & Benefits 100% Cotton so that the squares are soft, easy to press, and simple to sew. Two Essential Neutrals so that you have both a background and an anchor in the same order. Pre-cut and Ready to Sew so that you can skip the measuring and the cutting and go straight to the machine. 84 Squares in Total so that you have enough of each to carry a whole quilt top rather than a single block. Standard 5" Charm Size so that they work with patterns, precuts and stash you already own. Great For Backgrounds and sashing, checkerboard and Irish chain layouts, half square triangles, English paper piecing, coasters, mug rugs, appliqué foundations, and any block that needs high contrast to read properly. Also the simplest way to lift a scrappy quilt that has gone flat.
