O.K. here goes, I won a $20.00 gift cert. from the quilted bee in the Fab shop hop back in April. I cashed it in for 3 charms, and decided that might not be enough but that was all she had. I found Hancocks had them and figured I would get 3 more, only they only had 2, so now I have 5, and I want to make a King quilt, I can add some other fabrics, but want to get a pattern that shows the beautiful prints, they are the Luna Notte collection from Moda, and the fabric is absolutely beautiful. I also bought 1 yard of one of the mini prints in this collection from the quilted bee. Any suggestions on a good pattern? So I have 200 charms that coordinate. :-D

there are a number of great books out for charm quilts- a couple are---Nickle quilts; More Nickle Quilts,
and numerous charm named patterns and books-
if you search for nickle quilts (5"squares-hense the nickle)
or charm quilts you will find literally thousands to look at.

I did a card trick quilt using a method shown on this board that required I cut the charm in half, and then on of the halves in half again. This gave me two pieces for each card, with a 2.5" square left over to play with. My quilt is shown here http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-139870-1.htm
