Jumble = A Charm Pack mash-up! These Moda fabrics are a jumble of Miss Rosie’s scraps.
To make the full size version you’ll need about 297 5” charm squares. That’s about 8 charm packs OR 2 layer cakes OR make a smaller version . Miss Rosie ( Carrie Nelson) encourages scrappiness, so no need to have 8 of the same charm packs if your’e making the full pattern sized quilt pictured here. Mix and match charm packs and squares or cut them up from your scraps and stash. Sew much fun!
Here’s your pattern!

We are ALL enduring unusual times so I am going to add a note to my sign off today: Stay safe, Take some time out to get outside and walk , bike, run, garden, play. Take some time away from the news. Stay informed, but be sure to give yourself a break from all that information. Breathe in , breathe out , we’ll all get through this together. #quiltersboundtogether
