I have seen several tumbling blocks that repeat the colors much like a bargello quilt.

I worked with them once and had issue with the pinked edges. I dunno if I had over measured something else or what, but all I know is that I sewed my normal 1/4" seam and there were lots of pinked edges showing. And then I had to attach binding... pain in the you-know-where. So watch out for those edges! And unless you're really patient/good/etc, I would advise against attaching binding to them - add another border strip, for example

Here's a very interesting article about charm quilts...doesn't have anything to do with the precut packages...but it is quite interesting.

Hope you enjoy!

did see that in my search, but thought one comment I saw was really funny when it quoted a very disdainful comment about a silly woman in the 1880's? from Ohio making one and implied it was a waste of time!!

thanks, eventually got to watch after installing extras, looks good but may get muddled knowing how dumb I am.
