Default Favorite charm pack patterns

I have quite a few charm packs collected. Do any of you have favorite patterns you use with charm packs? I know there are several books available for using them, but I really want to know what all of you have been using them for. Please share your favorite projects or quilts made with charm squares.

I love Falling Charms. Haven't had time to start it. I am using Orange and Pink prints. It is for charity.

There are several charm pack tutorials by Jenny Doan at Missouri Star Quilt Company that I'm dying to try -- once I catch up on all my UFOs. I keep buying them (and jelly rolls, and layer cakes). They sure do look pretty on my shelf!

Tumbler, you can make the template with the cardboard on the back. Very fast and easy.

I really like this pattern by Bunny Hill Designs, which is designed for charm packs (although I didn't use a charm pack when making it).

I don't have a favorite pattern but, when I have used charm packs, I always add a solid neutral. Often the patterns seem to swim if I don't add in some solids.

I don't know the name of the pattern but I made this quilt from 2charm packs. Very easy. The appliqué was separate.

Thank- you everyone for your ideas. I have looked at all of them and got some ideas from them. I have always wanted to do a tumbler quilt too so that's a possibility. Will keep checking back for more ideas!
