I usually buy at least two charm packs that are the same fabrics. Then there are many things I can do with them. I had about 4 of them recently and was not all that crazy about many of the fabrics. I cut them into fourths and added white sashing and made a quilt, turned out really nice. I look at patterns and see what I can do with the charm squares and its amazing what I can make, but generally not with just one pack. I also would make the scrap quilts, cut them up really quickly and use them.
