do it with me lol

That one is cute to Nan, thanks.

Wish I had seen this before I turned a bunch of 2.5 strips into a version of the Jelly Roll Race quilt last week. It would have taken a lot longer to make, but more interesting. Oh well, will save more strips for this one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxC-0T5lXw4 just saw this from a question about 10in squares but it sure could be designed for any size square of fabric!

I asked this question about a month ago too and someone said to look at the Moda bakeshop and Pintrest. I think they probably have the best patterns. One thing I have noticed in patterns is that they cut the charm square and you end up throwing away fabric. I was raised by a mother who survived the Depression (yeah, I know this is a mini-history lesson) so now I usually adjust the pattern so that I don't cut and throw away. I bought huge amounts of charm squares from Missouri Star Quilt company and now am ready to start on them too.

My mother didn't survive the depression, but was raised by a widow in Italy where she was taught not to waste *anything*!! It's amazing to see Charm pack patterns where there is soo much waste and cutting. I thought the idea was to do LESS cutting. ;)

I just saw Jenny's new tutorial. It's so easy and so beautiful using charms. All of Jenny's tutorials are great!

I saw Jenny's new tutorial too and I wish she had named it Disappearing Window Pane Nine Patch. I almost didn't watch it because a window paned nine patch was not something I would want to make. As she would say " It is adorable".:)

Love the jewel-tone colors!

I just looked at Jenny's video too. Yup, it's now on my "to do" list.

I love it too!! I actually bookmarked that last night! I just can't justify spending $8 for the pattern. It seems like it's pretty straightforward. Maybe I could figure it out on my own!!
