    ... and the question is this:
    What generally does one do with a charm pack? (42 5"X5" squares). All I can think of is putting sashing between them to make a quilt top. Anything else?

    I made a Disappearing 9 Patch with charm packs. It was so much fun!

    You can also do the 10 minute block with charms. People also use them for mug rugs and tote bags.

    disappearing Four patch, and disappearing pinwheel. tutortials are on this board. and lots of little projects, like purses, table runners, backgrounds for applique. Also, combine with black or white or whatever color and turn into HST's, then do Tons of stuff. They're fun!

    All of the above! But watch what you are buying. Not all have the same quantity of 5" squares.
