Thanks Trish! I love him too! He's quite a character! I need to send you a picture of one of my other cats (we have 3)... Pedro, he looks JUST like YOUR avatar... same colors and same cool striped tiger tail! We adopted him from the same place that we adopted Zappy. His name was Pedro when we got him and we were going to change it, but decided not too. When I told that to the woman that runs the adoptions, she said, "That's good, because he's Hispanic." haha.... who knew?!!

Made one of these totes for myself and one for my sister. One charm pack for each plus lining and strap fabric. It is Trail Mix by This and That. Fun to make and easy!

Love these ... esp the first one, the border looks like you embroidered it - is it a print or no ? :)

It's a print fabric. "Holiday Magic" by Studio E

I can't find it available ANYWHERE in the cream....although it can still be found in the light green.

I had hunted down that fabric back several months ago when she first posted that quilt because I loved it so. Still have it in my watch list at ebay, so sharing the link if anyone is interested. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I am curious...can you share your favorite project that you completed using a charm pack?! I'd love to see what everyone uses them for! Thanks!

This was one of my favorite projects made with a charm pack:

I mostly use charm packs. There are a lot of patterns available - Moda Bake Shop has a bunch. This link will show all of their Charm Pack recipes (patterns) http://www.modabakeshop.com/search/label/Charm%20Pack

Little scraps This & That patterns also use charm packs - most I've seen use one pack for a table mat/runner.

I like them because as a beginner I have a mix of fabrics that go well together. Plus I usually can't find 35-40 prints from a collection at my local LQS.

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

Please? and Thanks!

It might have been from Schnibbles Times Two by Carrie Nelson. The book features pairs of quilts from 5" (charm pack) and 10" (layer cake) squares. The layer cake patterns are quilt size, the charm pack ones are doll quilt/table topper/wall hanging size.
