to Sewbizgirl.....
I love the red polka dot one. May I use your pattern? (I don't sell my quilts..only gift them) |
Disappearing 9-patch. Charms are the perfect size in my opinion. Kid prints make great I SPY quilts as someone has already mentioned.

Go to http://www.missouriquiltco.com and check out some of their videos for using charm packs. One I remember that was especially nice was a Jacob's Ladder. Or put them together in coordinating pairs, right sides together, and sew around the outsides with a 1/4" seam. Then cut them diagonally both directions. You can use the results to make pinwheels or hourglasses or turn the darks to the inside, or the lights to the inside... or several other patterns. I love charm packs. And Irishrose is right, a tumbler quilt would be an economical use of charm packs. Enjoy them!

Try Criss-cross coasters they are so fun to make with charm packs
|
goto www.fatquartershop.com and check out their free quilt patterns...there is one called "Wuthering Heights" that uses charm squares...lap size...great pattern...enjoy...

I love charm packs. I made a scrappy pinwheel with one set. Used the Missouri Quilts template for a tumbler. The template is sized for 5" charms. Or sew the charms together to make HST and then sew with the triangles all facing the same way. Sorry don't know the name of that pattern, but one of the ladies here will. And they do make lovely totes.

They are great for using in Spiderweb blocks, you will have to cut them up as you go.

I make this 45" square quilt for more than just babies. I embroider something in the 16 1/2" middle square or use a pillow square and cut it to the right size for the center. This is my favorite pattern and I use it a lot for weddings as a kind of banner that can be used afterward also.

I saw a pattern recently...You take a nine patch block and cut it width wise in half and length wise in half. It makes a new block. Then you just turn it any way you want. 2 charm packs is enough for a lap size quilt. It was really cool. This is not my idea and I can't remember which blog I saw it on. I will keep looking and post if I can find it.
