Petit four (plural: petits fours): a tiny, bite-sized cake with delicate layers of moist cake filled with smooth butter cream and jam fillings. Each cake measures approximately 1.5 " x 1". The miniature cake is often dipped in fondant and decorated with piped icing flowers. The name is from the French petit four, meaning "small oven".
Supplies:
1 Charm Pack (40 - 5" squares) I used Wildflower Serenade 2 by Kansas Troubles
1/8th yard for inner border
1/8th yard for binding
Backing and batting at least 15" x 47"
Instructions:
Reserve the remaining 13 charms for the outside border.

Sew 2 pairs together. Repeat until you have 20 sets of 4 strips.
Press all seams one direction.
Trim length to 4.5". I stacked 4 blocks; trimmed 1/4" off one end...
then trimmed the other end to equal 4.5".
Sew two 4-strip units together as shown below. Repeat to make 10 units

Sew these units together...
to make 5 blocks like this.
Cut the inner border fabric into 3-1" strips. Attach the inner border to the long sides of the runner first, then to the short ends.
Take the last 13 charms and cut at 2". You will get 2 pieces that are 2" x 5" per charm.
Sew 2 sets of 3 together and 2 sets of 10 together.
Attach to long sides of the runner first, matching center seam of runner with center seam of border. Trim off the extra
Put a pin in the center of the 3-charm strips and match to the middle seams on the short ends of the runner. Stitch. Trim off the extra.
Quilt, bind and make another one.
