I sewed them into 4 patches using white then a small quilt. I donated them to a lady who makes baby bundles for the air force base near us. They go to the new Moms. I have had only one which was given to me. They are super cute.

I love them for my mini tumblers. Also hexies. Love mini charms and I am always on the lookout for them. They are hard to find them in my area.

You should read through the 2.5" and 2" squares swap threads. We share a lot of patterns there...

Here is a quilt top, and some mug mats, that I made from squares I received in those swaps (2.5"). And this is another pattern I would like to try:

You can always buy a charm pack and cut it in quarters....

That's true but where's the fun in that? Lol! Actually I specifically want the minis for my tumbler quilt that I want no repeating fabrics. Charm square would give me 4.
I need to find that swap you mentioned!

What a great bunch of ladies we have on here! So many ideas and places to look now. I really like the pattern on Craftsy that was mentioned, and am off to see if I can find the swaps on here for more ideas. Thank you everyone. One gone, where did you find them for $1.35? That's a steal!

Jenny Doan just had a tutorial on a table runner, from Kansas Troubles, that uses mini charms

Those 2 1/2 inch squares are kinda like buying scraps...If you are stuck on having a particular line of fabric I guess they would be okay, but if you have lots of scraps, why not cut your own and use them up?
