Hey all,
Can you share your favorite ways to use charm packs? I'd love to get inspired!
Thanks,

I use them for totes, baby quilts, HST, lots of things. Have you looked at tutorials for Charms? You will love using them.

I've been making coasters from the charm packs. They are really fast and great gifts.

I use them for tablerunners, purses, or totes.

Oh, I forgot tablerunners. They are great for that. And placemats

D9P's, HST's, 9 patch quilts, there are so many things you can do with them! Connecting Threads is the best place to get them.

Missouri Quilt Co has a tute on making Dresden Plates with them

I have 2 eden charm packs that I'm going to use (along with other stuff) to make a twin quilt. I'm going to make 4-patch blocks with the charms and alternate them with solid and larger printed blocks.

Yo-yo's.

They make the best Dresden Plates you've ever seen. It is my favorite use for them.

I made a King size quilt entirely of charm packs (except for the borders) It was a Disappearing 9 patch.
There are tons of things you can make with them!! The latest thing I saw was a tutorial to make pinwheels from Missouri Star Quilt Company. Easy peasy!! :D

I keep a small stash of 'heavily discounted' ones on hand so that my sewing buddy AKA DGD can sit down beside me and sew blocks together. They are just the right size for her little hands to manage, and she gets to play with colours and prints while I work on my own projects.
