Favorite charm pack patterns
 

I have quite a few charm packs collected. Do any of you have favorite patterns you use with charm packs? I know there are several books available for using them, but I really want to know what all of you have been using them for. Please share your favorite projects or quilts made with charm squares.

I love Falling Charms. Haven't had time to start it. I am using Orange and Pink prints. It is for charity.

There are several charm pack tutorials by Jenny Doan at Missouri Star Quilt Company that I'm dying to try -- once I catch up on all my UFOs. I keep buying them (and jelly rolls, and layer cakes). They sure do look pretty on my shelf!

Tumbler, you can make the template with the cardboard on the back. Very fast and easy.

D9P is my go to for charms

I really like this pattern by Bunny Hill Designs, which is designed for charm packs (although I didn't use a charm pack when making it).

I don't have a favorite pattern but, when I have used charm packs, I always add a solid neutral. Often the patterns seem to swim if I don't add in some solids.

I don't know the name of the pattern but I made this quilt from 2charm packs. Very easy. The appliqué was separate.

Thank- you everyone for your ideas. I have looked at all of them and got some ideas from them. I have always wanted to do a tumbler quilt too so that's a possibility. Will keep checking back for more ideas!

I make a lot of Dresden plate table runners.

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.

If you have decided on a tumbler, today's Missouri Star Quilt Company daily deal is the 5" tumbler template.

I used a 30's charm pack to do a D9P

I cut them into 2.5 X 2.5 squares, works for lots of scrappy patterns!

I love charm packs for small pinwheels for baby quilts. 1 pack with border is perfect size.

Here is my charm pack quilt. It was made using the 5" tumbler template from MSQC. You will enjoy making a tumbler quilt. It was so much fun watching it come together. Be sure and post a picture for us when you're done!
