I would really like any more input your ladies and gents have!

I'm making the twister tree skirt pattern, Tree Skirt Twist, with charm packs and I really like it. Even if you don't like that one, make a twister quilt. They are fun!

Have you tried googling charm park quilt patterns and looking at the images?

Great idea for lots of charm squares!

I would defininately do a twister pattern of some sort if I had a bunch of charm squares. The twister tree skirt pattern would also make an awesome picnic table covering. Just leave the slit and hole out of the tree skirt and you will have an octagon table covering ! That way if your charm squares are all different it would be really neat looking and obviously you don't have to have Christmas fabrics. Once you do one twister pattern you will want to do more, but I am biased as I really, really like the patterns by "Handcrafts by Jennifer" -- Her instructions are so easy to follow for all her patterns and are extremely user friendly! I'm sure you will agree if you try one.

I have decided I will not buy charm packs any more, but I like this thread for ideas of what to do. It seems I don't have enough charms for a big project ... and I am NOT charmed. ;)

that's why a lot of us don't wash charm packs, layer cakes, jelly rolls, etc before we use them. if you don't wash anything, just use color catchers the first few times you wash them. MOST stuff doesn't fade now adays anyway. maybe red's, blacks. this is only my op.
