O.K. here goes, I won a $20.00 gift cert. from the quilted bee in the Fab shop hop back in April. I cashed it in for 3 charms, and decided that might not be enough but that was all she had. I found Hancocks had them and figured I would get 3 more, only they only had 2, so now I have 5, and I want to make a King quilt, I can add some other fabrics, but want to get a pattern that shows the beautiful prints, they are the Luna Notte collection from Moda, and the fabric is absolutely beautiful. I also bought 1 yard of one of the mini prints in this collection from the quilted bee. Any suggestions on a good pattern? So I have 200 charms that coordinate. :-D

I'm assuming you have 5 inch charms. I would get one of Pat Speth's 'Nickel Quilt' books. She has lots of patterns, all made with 5" charms. Might see if your library has one of her books.

I could not agree more! There are three books in the Nickel quilt series. I just saw one of the for sale here on the board .. last I saw no one had purchased .

yes they are 5 inch, I didn't realize there were any other size charms, silly me.:)

there are a number of great books out for charm quilts- a couple are---Nickle quilts; More Nickle Quilts,
and numerous charm named patterns and books-
if you search for nickle quilts (5"squares-hense the nickle)
or charm quilts you will find literally thousands to look at.

I couldn't figure out what to do with my charms, either, until I found the 10-minute block.

I did a card trick quilt using a method shown on this board that required I cut the charm in half, and then on of the halves in half again. This gave me two pieces for each card, with a 2.5" square left over to play with. My quilt is shown here http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-139870-1.htm

If you really really want the fabric to stand out---you might consider just alternating them with a beige charm in between each one. Really makes the fabric stand out.
