Description
A lovely way to enjoy the colours and prints of Sparrow Falls without having to choose just a few favourites.
Designed by Michael Nardi for Andover Fabrics, Sparrow Falls has a timeless, slightly nostalgic country feel, bringing together sparrows, florals, checks, foliage and smaller coordinating prints. The palette of rich Prussian and Teapot Blues, Moss green, warm Cinnamon Red, Flax and soft Ivory works beautifully across the collection.
Each charm pack contains 42 pre-cut 5” x 5” squares of Andover’s superb quality 100% cotton quilting fabric.
Why Choose A Charm Pack?
Charm packs are such a useful way to sew with a whole collection. Your fabric is already cut into accurate 5” squares and the colours and prints have been designed to work together, so much of the preparation has already been done for you.
If you’re new to patchwork and quilting, they’re a brilliant place to start. For a simple patchwork quilt, arrange your squares until you’re happy with the layout and sew them together in rows using a ¼” seam allowance. No cutting lots of individual squares before you can begin.
If you’re a more experienced quilter, those same 5” squares can be used whole or cut and pieced to create all sorts of blocks, including four-patches, nine-patches, half-square triangles, hourglass blocks and disappearing blocks.
What Could You Make?
Charm squares certainly aren’t limited to quilts. They’re lovely for table runners, placemats, coasters, cushion fronts, patchwork bags, zipped pouches, box pouches, fabric baskets, book and Kindle covers, needle cases, project bags, mug rugs and smaller patchwork gifts.
They’re also a really nice way to add a little patchwork to a project without buying lots of different fabrics individually.
Planning A Quilt?
Depending on the size and design of your quilt, you may need more than one charm pack. You may also want coordinating fabric for sashing, borders, binding and backing.
The Sparrow Falls collection is also available from us by the 10 cm from the bolt, making it easy to choose coordinating fabric to complete your quilt or project. We also have Sparrow Falls Fat Quarter Bundles available in a separate listing if you’d like larger pieces from the collection.
