    I can see why she gets lots of compliments! It's gorgeous! Hmm..that's a good idea... I could make a tote bag for my sister for Christmas with the Max and Whiskers charm pack! There's a thought!!

    That is cool where can I fine the pattern for the 10 minute block? I have a couple of charm packs that I could do that with.

    Your quilt is awsome.

    I love charm packs because of the variety of fabric. I used 2 charm packs each to make these bags. One each would have been plenty; there was lots of leftovers.

    I made dresden plates with one, but haven't made into quilt yet. You can get 2 blades out of each square. Zappycat, I just love the kitty in your avatar!

    Great bags ... I saw one IRL the other day at LQS. They had made one with a charm pack ... and another with larger squares.

    Do you know what the pattern is called?
    And where I might find it?

    Please? and Thanks!

    Most of my Dresden toppers were from charm packs,when on sale.I can get two out of a pack,so it was a good deal. I never get them unless they are on sale ,but they are handy for people like me with limited mobility.Easier than dragging out yardages to cut little pieces.And the colors co ordinate so it helps too

    The bag pattern is here: http://welshquilter.blogspot.com/200...1_archive.html I cut the charms in fourths. I purchased 1/2 for the handles and top row of the bags and 1/2 yard for the lining.

    I did a disappearing nine patch from several (two, I think) charm packs.
