charm pack quilt ideas
 
I have looked and gone to several sites looking for patterns using 5" charm packs which I have 2 of 5 different fabrics. I am not wanting to use all of them, but the two of each set that match with or without contrasting fabric. I have not been able to find patterns at Missouri Star and wondered if some of you quilters would share with me what you have used your charm packs for or send a link to some that have the patterns. This computer stuff is out of my league and just get discouraged after a time. Thank you for any direction you can give me. Do you have to join Missouri Star to be able to access their full line of patterns and utube is even more confusing finding what I need. Thanking you in adavance for any help you can give me. You ladies and gents are awesome. Sharon

Missouri Star Quilt co. has a tutorial on Falling Charms. There are some pictures on QB posted. You can go to their site by using forum.missouriquiltco.com and all their tutorials are available under that tab. You can also go to YouTube and tap on the little magnifying glass in the top right hand corner and that will bring up a little white box on the left hand corner you type the title of the quilt you want to look at or type in in Missouri Star Quilt co.

The moda site has a lot of patterns:

Here's a link to the MSQC charm pack patterns:

I don't think they have patterns on the web site for the quilts she does in her youtube tutorials. Sometimes they are in her magazine. Maybe someone else knows if they are offered in pattern format and can provide a link.

PaperPrincess and Tartan, thank you for your help. I will look at these when I have some time. Getting some odd and end projects completed before I go to a quilt retreat in April. Always like to have some projects ready to go and have been hanging onto to these charms because I didn't know what to do with them.

I found a pattern on Craftsy that is similar to MSQC Illusion but done with charms:

I found a few patterns just by Google Charm quilt patterns.

When I asked a similar question a while back, several board members directed me to the books by Pat Speth. She's published at least three books on Nickel (her term for 5" squares) Quilts. Excellent patterns!

Thank you ManiacQuilter2. I will Google Charm quilt patterns. I am getting up there and not so computer literate. Didn't start quilting until I retired so you ladies and gents have helped me so much with your knowledge. I am so appreciative that I can ask my "dumb" questions and someone always has an answer.

Look into MQC. Jenny uses a lot of 5" squares.
