Default 2x2 packets

I received 8 two x two packets from Moda for Cnristmas. What does one do with this type of cut? Amy and all suggestions welcome! Bonnie

Do you mean the 2 1/2" mini charms? Here's a link to the Moda Bake Shop mini charms patterns:

i like the look of sewing darkest toward the outside and lighter in the center. then applique something special on top of this pieced background.

I did an Irish Chain. I also picked up some mini charm packs for my Calico Gardens quilt to do the applique because it is all so teeny tiny & that way I don't have a ton of fabric waste.

I buy a lot of the mini charm packs. They are sewing room eye candy until I use them. I use them to make hexies, and nine patches, use as cornerstones, and for EPP.

If indeed these are min charm packs, here are a few quilt patterns to look at:

I found a box that is 3x3. Would work great to hold mini charm sizes.

Joellyn,
As many times as I have looked at google images for quilts, it has never occurred to me to look at miniatures! Some of these are really cute.....and far from my comfort level to make! My fingers just don't do tiny well any more.
Thanks for the idea, though.

Moda also has a couple of books for the Candies. I realized you could go to 2" finished squares and HST instead of 4"

You can experiment with all kinds of color and perfect any techniques without too much cash outlay.

The Sizzix 2" finished die just cut a Charm into 4 Candies. If there's 42 Charms in a bundle, quadruple it.

I'm not sure about the Accuquilt dies and the 2" finished. Looks like some are larger or smaller than the 5" charm.
