I do DP9's, pinwheels, and four patches. Check Missouri Quilts on you tube they have some great tutorials using charm packs.

I have cut them for 9 patch quilts. If they are 5' charms, they work perfect for making 2"squares in the 9 patch

Make a tumbler quilt with them. Using the cardboard backing, measure in an inch from each side on the bottom. Then using a small ruler make a line from each bottom point to the top corners, thats your template. Mark your squares on the back, cut and sew togather in strips. Use your extra piece of fabric for a border. Or...just sew the squares all togather as is, in a scrappy type quilt.

Finally I Found It.!!!

I finally found the blog that I posted this idea from. I wanted to credit the right person. I visit so many blogs...(sheepish look) it took me awhile to find it.http://snippetsofaquilter.blogspot.c...are-quilt.html

I will keep looking and post if I can find it.

I used one entire pack to make disappearing 4-patches. They are the body of a baby girl quilt. I would post pictures but the only ones I have are on my blog and I got dinged for posting a link to it on another post. Did not realize that was verboten!

Only 5 more to use up! I am pretty sure I am not going to buy anymore of these. They cause me SOOOO much stress.

Thanks for the help.
