Choosing quilting fabrics & thread often comes down to one practical fork: do you want larger cotton cuts to shape yourself, or pre-cut squares that can go straight into a patchwork plan? The 20 Fat Quarters Bundle and 100 PC 5 INCH Charm Quilt Squares are both multicolor cotton assortments, but their formats and prices point to different workflows. Match the cut to your project before comparing the amounts.
Quick verdict
Choose 20 Fat Quarters Bundle if your priority is starting with larger pieces and deciding your own cut shapes. Choose 100 PC 5 INCH Charm Quilt Squares if your pattern already calls for uniform charm squares and you want an assorted mix of cotton prints. The workflow separates these two choices more than the material does.

Product notes
20 Fat Quarters Bundle
The 20 Fat Quarters Bundle suits quilters who want to decide their own shapes and begin with pieces measuring 18-20 x 21 inches. Mixed patterns and colors create a varied starting palette, and the medium-weight cotton is described for quilting and crafts. Those dimensions are the concrete reason to choose it when a design needs more room before cutting. The limitation is the USD 24.95 price compared with USD 14.95 for the charm-square set. A project built specifically around ready-cut 5-inch units would also add a cutting step here, because the pieces start in a larger format.
100 PC 5 INCH Charm Quilt Squares
The 100 PC 5 INCH Charm Quilt Squares set makes sense for a plan that starts with prepared, die-cut units rather than fabric that must be cut down. The 100 total pieces include 50 different patterns with two duplicates of each pattern, a concrete fit for layouts that use paired repeats. Its 100% cotton construction and assorted, multicolor selection keep the focus on patchwork variety. The limitation is the random mix: exact prints are not selected in advance. At USD 14.95, it is the lower-priced choice, but the 5-inch square format is less adaptable when a design needs a larger starting piece.
Final choice by use case
- For flexible cutting and broader starting pieces: Pick the 20 Fat Quarters Bundle and use its mixed-pattern cotton pieces as the basis for your own shapes.
- For a pre-cut charm-square workflow: Pick 100 PC 5 INCH Charm Quilt Squares when the project is built around uniform squares and random print selection works for the design.
- For the simplest decision: Let the pattern dictate the format. If it names fat quarters, choose the bundle; if it calls for charm squares, choose the squares. That keeps the purchase aligned with the way the quilt will be assembled.
