Joyce. A 5 inch charm is a 4 1/2 inch finished square. So, you would
divide the 4 1/2 inches by two which is 2 1/4 and then add 1/2 inches for
seam allowance. So would need a strip that is cut 2 3/4 inches wide.
Personally , i generally use just 5 inch charms and go for a scrappy look
instead of trying to add them to something else. I can easily put sashing
between them if I want to have a different look. But, If you want to piece
them with other sized squares or different blocks, you can sew 4 of them
together for a 4 patch that measures 9 1/2 inches square unfinished. . .
To that, you could add a 9 1/2 inch unfinished square or a 9 patch of 3 1/2
inch unfinished squares. 5 inch square charms can be fun because there are
a plentitude of patterns out there for aprons to tablecloths. JoAn
