Elizabeth Hartman (blogs as Oh, Fransson!) has a very easy baby pattern using charms in her tutorial section:

I think I have tried a lot of those but I love DP9 it can look so different everytime!

I love that extra applique touch...

I like to use a printed charm pack and a plain charm pack. Place one of each square RST and sew 1/4" seam around all sides. Cut diagonally across both directions and sew them back together to make a pin wheel. Sew all the pinwheels together, add a few borders and done.

I'm making a Christmas table runner using charm packs to make HST which then form Christmas trees. The charm packs are perfect for this project. MSQ has many patterns for charm packs. I love the little devils and have collected quite a few over the years, they are perfect for so many things that you don't need yardage for and want to vary the look.

I make tote bags out of them. There is a Quilts Illustrated pattern designed by Penny Sturges ps016 Charm Party Tote that calls for 35 charm squares, and I have made a number of those tote bags and use them for gifts. Hope this helps you.

I have only ever bought two charm packs, and this is what I did with the pink and gold group. I also bought a blue and greens one that is still awaiting inspiration....
When I gave the pink and gold to my DD for her birthday, she cried. Later that day, I got a text saying "This quilt is part of my soul." I guess she liked it lol!
The hot pink squares with the yellow egg shapes was some fabric I had on hand.

Dresden plate, four patch, star blocks - I have several books that use charm packs - also check Moda Bakeshop they have wonderful pre-cut patterns.
