Choosing between quilting fabrics & thread often comes down to a simple project question: do you want a large assortment to sort through, or pre-cut squares that give your patchwork a consistent starting shape? Both options are cotton, but they serve very different workflows. One is a multicolor mystery box of remnants; the other is a defined assortment of charm squares.
Quick verdict
Choose the Cotton Fabric Scraps Remnants Surprise Box when variety, mixed cuts, and a larger fabric supply matter most. Choose the 100 PC Charm Quilt Squares when your design is built around pre-cut square units and repeated patterns. The listed-price gap is meaningful, but format is the bigger decision point.

Product notes
Cotton Fabric Scraps Remnants Surprise Box
The Cotton Fabric Scraps Remnants Surprise Box is a strong fit for quilters who enjoy sorting through a varied fabric supply before deciding on a layout. The assortment may include folded pieces, strips, squares, rectangles, irregular cuts, larger remnants, and small scraps, along with florals, novelty prints, children's prints, seasonal prints, and blenders. That range gives patchwork projects several shapes and print directions to work with. The limitation is predictability: every box is different, and no individual piece is larger than one yard. The box is therefore less defined than a pre-cut assortment. Its stated medium fabric weight is useful when your project can accommodate a mixed remnant lot rather than a uniform cut plan.
100 PC Charm Quilt Squares
The 100 PC Charm Quilt Squares package is the more focused choice for a project that starts with prepared square pieces. It contains 100 total pieces, with 50 different patterns and two duplicates of each pattern, so the assortment offers both print variety and built-in repetition. The pieces are die cut, which keeps the starting units centered on the same charm-square format. The concrete limitation is that the pattern mix is chosen at random, so the exact visual combination is not specified in advance. Its square-focused format also gives you less of the mixed shape range described for the scrap box. Choose it when duplicate prints and ready-made square units are more useful than a broad collection of remnants.
Final choice by use case
- For exploratory patchwork: Pick the Cotton Fabric Scraps Remnants Surprise Box if the appeal is a multicolor mix of remnants, strips, and irregular cuts.
- For square-based quilt layouts: Pick the 100 PC Charm Quilt Squares if your plan calls for 5-inch squares, die-cut pieces, and repeated patterns.
- For the lower listed price: The charm squares are USD 14.95, compared with USD 35.49 for the scrap box, an absolute spread of $20.54.
The scrap box is the better match for variety-driven projects, while the charm squares offer a more defined path from fabric assortment to square-based patchwork.
