    Default 5 charm packs - what to do?

    I purchased (over time) 5 of the Lovely Charm Packs from Missouri Quilt Company and cannot think of a pattern to use them for. Any suggestions? I want to make a quilt for my co-worker's retirement.

    The above mentioned are great ideas. Have you Google "free charm pattern"? Sometimes it is easier to see and select what you like.

    Missouri Star Quilt Company had an Iron quilters contest with these beautiful fabrics.

    https://www.missouriquiltco.com/content/ironquilter

    There were pictures of the entries and the quilts that were made- Absolutely beautiful quilts made with the "Lovely" line.

    You can see the entries here and you do not have to be logged into Facebook to see them.

    https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...5934250&type=1

    All kinds of quilts.

    Also here , these were the finalists-

    That should give you some ideas. Also here's Jenny's tutorial for the quilt she made using this same, that's what I'd make, oops maybe she used layer cakes. Well it's still beautiful.

    Good luck I think your charm packs are beautiful!

    pretty fabrics! I would add 1 fabric (white/off white/beige) & make a ton of HST's and use a layout similar to http://lifesewcrafty.blogspot.com/20...aby-quilt.html or http://www.needlespinsandbakingtins....gle-quilt.html BUT i have to say I think these made up in a D4P would rock it too! See http://thetinwhistle.blogspot.com/20...ilt.html...its my favorite d4p layout.

    Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt has a YouTube tutorial on the "Wonky Star Charm Pack Quilt" that is pretty.

    I used 5 charm packs of batik fabrics, and made the Honeycomb pattern with the tumbler template that fits the 5" squares.. This tutorial is one of the Missouri Star Quilt Co tutes. It is a throw size and beautiful.

    I made a bow tie with five charm packs, cutting one charm into four squares for the corners of the bow on the solids:
