I made dresden plates out of charm packs. I think Missouri Star Quilt Co. has a U tube on it.

There are tons of free patterns on the web, Moda Bake Shop etc and lots of patterns & books out are using them
Set them all together or sash in 4 patches, 9 patches etc (great for the Disappearing 9 patch) or use 9 patches etc with setting squares; make HST; use whole or cut in half for borders ... also great for table runners, toppers, handbags, tote bags, baby items, the ideas are endless ... :)

I made a couple of table toppers for Xmas with charm packs using the Disappearing Nine Patch. You can make table runners using charm packs in different block patterns. Have also used charm packs to make handbags.

I ad them often to scrappy table runners or other little scrappy quilts.

happymrs, those are wonderful!

I'm making a table runner using charms plus some yardage from Moda bake shop. It's nice to have some of the cutting done for you!

I love the Bliss line! I used some for a rag quilt (will post pics when I'm done snipping)! I love the aqua and red and white.
