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. |
mee too! they are fun and easy! and i liek to make little projects with them--bags, pincushions, etc....
my fave right now is the aqua prints in sugar pop! i am also digging sherbet pips... |

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.

Charm squares are perfect for pinwheels, done this easy way:

I like making pinwheels out of them, or just framing each of the charms.
|
Obviously mine is the Dresden Plate!
|
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
