For the Bricks Quilt you will need:
- One Layer Cake
- Two Charm Packs (solid color that matches Layer Cake). For example I’m using Bella Solid White Charm Packs because it matches the Windermere Brenda Riddle Designs Moda Fabric.
- I purchased 5 yards of backing fabric… but you could get by with 4-1/2. I may add another row to mine if the fabric allows it. My last Brick Quilt was 14 rows but that was because the fabric did not allow me to add another row (there were several solids pieces that could not be used because I couldn’t add a solid to a solid).
- 1/2 yard of binding fabric.
- You will use 35 of the Layer Cake squares and 70 Charm Pack squares.
Quilt measures: 64 x 72 if you make it 14 rows (you can make it larger or smaller depending on your rows).

- Make sure your Layer Cake and Charm Packs are turned on the correct side before you cut the fabric.
- Cut 35 Layer Cakes at 5″ and each rectangle will measure 5 x 10 giving you a total of 70 (I cut all of mine because I may switch them out when I place it on my Design Wall).
- Group all your rectangles by color (pinks, greens, grays, yellows, blues …etc).
In the next video we’ll be sewing the Charm Packs to the Rectangles.

See ya!
I am glad you covered the whole stretch and pop on the fabric!!!! Thisnwasnconfusion me too!!!!
I am also glad you reviewed the straight of grain and bias. I have made quite a few quilts with pre cuts and just cut them the way they came in the package, assuming they were right. You learn something every day.
Hi Angie,
I bought one of those green omni mats and it has a really bad odor. Does your mat? I even put it out in the garage to air out for a month and it stilled smelled so I threw it away. Any suggestions?
Thanks for making a video. I refer back to them as I make my quilts. I’ve learned to that I need to take my time cutting and sewing.
Have a good day.
Hey Lesa,
yes my rotating omni mat was so stinking I thought it was defective. But, once I started using it the smell went away … I wonder if maybe the smell was trapped inside and when I started cutting it released it. Honestly I have no clue but I am happy it went away 🙂
Thanks for getting back. I will need to go get another one and give it a try . I think I’ll just try cutting all over it with out fabric and see if the smell goes away. Either way I need a mat.
Thanks
