I seem to have fallen in love with charm packs lately. I just got another 2 (matching) ones in the mail today. I am almost finished with a stacked coins quilt that I did with batiks that I bought on here from hperttula123 :) Last week I bought a couple of sets with greens and blue batiks.

So my question is what is your favorite pattern to use with these cute little guys! I really liked the simple look of the stacked coins!

I liked my Disappearing 9 Patch and am getting ready to start a Disappearing 16 Patch. That one will need some extra squares cut. If you want to see my 9 patch, click on my name, go to topics started and open "Birthday quilt'.

I just finished a table runner with most of a single pack. I cut the charms in half, sewed them end to end and then sewed the strips together. I'll try to post a picture tomorrow.

I love your birthday quilt! It is so pretty. I really like it set on point too! I have yet to do disappearing 9 patch. I have bookmarked yours for my to do list! I don't think I have ever seen a disappearing 16 patch? Do you still just cut it in half both ways after the squares are cut? Or are there more cuts made? I would love to see a pic of it too!

This is the site with the D16P. http://stashmanicure.blogspot.com/20...-16-patch.html

This is the quilt I am starting Monday. I think her fabric requirements are off, but I can refigure it. http://happyquiltingmelissa.blogspot...uilt-long.html

The birthday quilt has a different block in the center because setting on point takes an extra block and I was out my pretty charms, so I had to wing it.

I haven't made it yet but I love this one:

Gale, I really like that one. I hadn't seen it before.

I love the Perennials, by Elenor Burns for Bernatex, wish I could get the fat quarters. They are to die for.

I love D9P. I'm always amazed how great it looks when you cut and rearrange the squares. Charms look great with a simple sashing too. Just sashing without cornerstones. It really sets off the prints. To dress it up, some applique in the borders is nice also.

I love the stacked coins pattern too, I've made a couple of those with charm packs. Another nice idea is this zigzag quilt.

I don't have an actual pattern, it's just hst's made with the charm squares and a coordinating fabric.

I like making pinwheels out of them, or just framing each of the charms.

Riversong 03-27-2011 07:01 AM

Obviously mine is the Dresden Plate!

dotcomdtcm 03-27-2011 07:53 AM

Oh yes, those 2 squares, sew around the sides pinwheels are great!

The easier the better! I am happy just sewing squares together to make a table runner, placemats, or baby blanky. Here's a tablerunner using the new Christmas collection from Deb Strain for Moda Fabrics... Nature's Gift.

I don't have a favorite, but our fabricless walmart has a pack of 100 5"squares for $10.96. I haven't been to the one that still has fabric to see if they have them also. I feel like that's a pretty good deal and to boot....they weren't ugly.....LOL> Glenda,m

Well at least they have those :) We have one Walmart that has fabric but no charm packs :( The other walmart doesn't have fabric, and they don't have charm packs either :(

I did a disappearing 9 patch all shook up at my recent quilt retreat and used white for the B squares. It turned out looking great.
