    I like to use a printed charm pack and a plain charm pack. Place one of each square RST and sew 1/4" seam around all sides. Cut diagonally across both directions and sew them back together to make a pin wheel. Sew all the pinwheels together, add a few borders and done.

    I'm making a Christmas table runner using charm packs to make HST which then form Christmas trees. The charm packs are perfect for this project. MSQ has many patterns for charm packs. I love the little devils and have collected quite a few over the years, they are perfect for so many things that you don't need yardage for and want to vary the look.

    I make tote bags out of them. There is a Quilts Illustrated pattern designed by Penny Sturges ps016 Charm Party Tote that calls for 35 charm squares, and I have made a number of those tote bags and use them for gifts. Hope this helps you.

    I have only ever bought two charm packs, and this is what I did with the pink and gold group. I also bought a blue and greens one that is still awaiting inspiration....
    When I gave the pink and gold to my DD for her birthday, she cried. Later that day, I got a text saying "This quilt is part of my soul." I guess she liked it lol!
    The hot pink squares with the yellow egg shapes was some fabric I had on hand.

    If you have decided on a tumbler, today's Missouri Star Quilt Company daily deal is the 5" tumbler template.
