    I have used them in coasters, placemats, the speedy baby quilt with a "panel" in te middle and the 10 minute block.

    I love to use them when making mini quilts. Everyone thinks I did a wonderful job picking out my fabrics when all I did was cut and sew them together. I also use them to make lap size quilts.

    Sometimes I add some extra coordinating fabric and make a D9P, cuddle quilt size. For a baby quilt I just arrange the charms how I like, then add a couple of borders, and it's a baby quilt, or lap quilt.

    Love the ideas mentioned here!

    I buy them on sale from Mo. Star Quilt and use them for paper piecing. My favorite are the batiks.

    I just saw a Quilt in a Day TV show where she used Charm Packs. Really cute quilt. You might be able to see the show on her website videos.

    I made this quilt top using four Moda Charm packs. Just the top, the sides came from some scrap bags. This pattern is very simple, just put some sashing with a center square in between the four matching charms. I put mine on-point, but you wouldn't have to. http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...on-t93040.html
