This is a pattern I found that I am using up some of my charm squares on...kind of like a snowball block, but with only 2 opposite corners with triangles instead of 4, and then sashing in-between.

I made a Cathedral Windows with 5 in sqs.

You could try a disp. 16 patch as well or even 4 patches works well.

Last year I started buying charm squares ! Now I have a huge amount of them and even though I do have several books, I guess they aren't my favorites. I really dislike getting a quilting book for charm squares and then they tell me to cut off an inch or so to make the block. I am also not really crazy about cutting them into fourths so that I have to sew 2.5 inch squares together. I have lovely books that I can make my jelly row strips or fat quarters into quilts, but I think there aren't really good books for 5" squares. Please tell me I am wrong !! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have an abundance of charm packs from Missouri Star Quilt Co's Daily Deals too! Love all the options that half square triangles give you -- so many ways to put them together!
I call this quilt Disappearing Origins. It's D9P from a couple of Moda Charm Packs called Origins. I put darker square in the middle. [ATTACH=CONFIG]404228[/ATTACH] I just love this quilt. Looks so warm and cozy. |
I bought the book Minnesota Charms 2 and have really enjoyed making several of the quilts in there; especially Hugo's cabin!

Very informative discussion. I have 72 5" squares I need to use and appreciate all the good suggestions.

I like to sew scraps into wonky designs and cut into 5" squares and than take solid colors and cut into 5" squares and alternate them to make each block and reverse the process for every other block.
