Need charm inspiration
 

At my BOM meeting a few days ago I won a Block Party charm pack, and was challenged to use it before the next meeting. I am swamped right now with other projects, so the thought of throwing an unplanned one in the mix is causing me some stress... I keep vacillating between the attitude of, "No! No! You can't sucker me into this!" And "oo... what can I make..."

Right now I am obviously in the "what can I make" mood... I have spent the past hour surfing the usual places and haven't come up with anything inspiring.

So... what is your favorite pattern to use up one single charm pack?

I am kind of leaning more towards something like a bag than a quilt, but am really hoping to come up with something unique and fun to make. I also don't really want to spend much money buying additional fabric, which is one reason I am hesitant to make a quilt.

How about a pillow or table runner?

I Googled "quilt patterns for single charm pack" and came up with these images:

Craftsy has these free patterns. I particularly like the third one down "Daisy Baby" except it uses 2 charm packs to make a baby quilt. All you need is a neutral background fabric. Maybe you could do this pattern with your charm pack to make new "fabric", then use that as the basis for your bag or tote.

If you really don't feel like doing anything with it, make/find some kind of cute container for the charm squares and donate them back to the group.

Make one for you and put two in for guild members to win.

I am glad you asked this.. I have a few different charm packs that I am in search of a project for.... I will be watching this thread

Charms are just a size. How would you meet any other challenge? cut them up or use them whole. What appeals to you?

They make nice baby blankets.

I like the tote bag suggestion by annaquilts.
make one for now, it's quick and easy less than 2 hrs of sewing time, and save the rest for later.
or make a baby quilt. or a tableerunner.
you didn't say which colors or themes it was, so you can make seasonal tablerunners, if it's light colors, spring or a baby quilt, have fun, try not to stress.

have you gone to Missouri Quilts under youtube. she does a lot with charms. show us what you do.
