Default Using mini charms

Those little 2 & 1/2 inch squares are so cute and a way to get the whole line of fabric for a little cost. Do you have any favorite patterns for small quilts or other projects that are made for the candy packs? If so, please share your ideas with us.

Have you looked on Moda Bake Shop site? They have so many cute ideas for all their precuts.

I recently found a sale on these all Moda for $1.35 a pack. I don't plan on using them right away because I had an old wooden Coke A Cola crate. These little packs fit in the square compartments perfectly and make a great useful motivation decoration for my sewing room

I saw those recently at the festival of quilts here in the UK. I was really tempted because they're so cute, but couldn't think of anything I'd use them for....but now you mention hexies I'm wishing I'd picked some up!

I have a friend who will eventually work on a larger quilt with these squares so she is constantly sewing them together in sets when she needs an ender.

I have a red/cream mini charm set started last autumn 2013 on a mini redwork sampler with these appliqued onto muslin. But the muslin is way too thin so left it for this year to think how to continue with this.Still thinking...
