Chasing Hawk, your quilt is striking.
I know you said 2 charm packs-are they also 2 different fabric lines/patterns in a disappearing 9 patch? Thanks for letting us see it.

There is also a disappearing 4-patch!

Take a look at Nickel Quilts or More Nickel Quilts by Pat Speth.

Abe.com is a great source for used books in good condition

charms are wonderful. You can make the disapearing 9 patch several different ways. go to the u tube tutorials or Missouri Star Quilt Co for ideas. I am taking their quilting course on line(20.00) and they have several ways to use charm packs. Precuts are the way to go for me. Jelly rolls are great too.

ChasingHawk, I love that quilt!

I like to use charms in a boxed square. Here is one I did.

Modabakeshop.com has patterns for charm packs as well.

Wow... lots of good answers, thanks! I'll go look up the patterns you all suggested. The Nickle Quilts books look great (did you know she has more than two now?)

I was in a wonderful quilt shop in Jackson MS. yesterday, drooling over a beautiful quilt on the wall, made in Moda's Bliss line. Can't afford to do it right now, but would love to play with some Bliss charm packs!

I must be crazy because they were giving away (in a drawing) some fancy new late-model Bernina machine. All you had to do for your name to go into the drawing was sit and watch a demo of the machine. I didn't even want to spend the time doing that. A complicated, computerized, plastic-housed machine just doesn't appeal to me, even for free! I love my old Bernina 830 and am looking for an even older Singer 15-91... (sigh) Maybe I should go back and watch the demo. That machine could buy an awful lot of fabric and batting. LOL.

Charm packs cut into bow-ties with little waste. There is a cute pattern at Moda Bake Shop.
