I do DP9's, pinwheels, and four patches. Check Missouri Quilts on you tube they have some great tutorials using charm packs.

I love the charm packs, too. Here is one that is quick and cute, hope to try it soon.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyj9j...eature=related It'a called X's and O's. |
Phranny - Loved the X's and O's quilt. Thanks for sharing it.

I have cut them for 9 patch quilts. If they are 5' charms, they work perfect for making 2"squares in the 9 patch
|
Make a tumbler quilt with them. Using the cardboard backing, measure in an inch from each side on the bottom. Then using a small ruler make a line from each bottom point to the top corners, thats your template. Mark your squares on the back, cut and sew togather in strips. Use your extra piece of fabric for a border. Or...just sew the squares all togather as is, in a scrappy type quilt.

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.

I used one entire pack to make disappearing 4-patches. They are the body of a baby girl quilt. I would post pictures but the only ones I have are on my blog and I got dinged for posting a link to it on another post. Did not realize that was verboten!
Only 5 more to use up! I am pretty sure I am not going to buy anymore of these. They cause me SOOOO much stress. Thanks for the help. Mary |
