    One of my favorite things to do with charm packs is using the Li'l Twister tool to make pinwheels. Please let us know what you decide.

    Shoot take a piece of creme or white and make a pile of HST's. Then your possibilities are endless. Lucky you!!

    This is what I do spending hours on Google looking at the images of quilts. Just finished my first Falling Charm quilt. I have quilted for almost 30 years and I was amazed at how quickly the top came together.

    How about piecing the charms into a long runner....but then using them to make a "10 Minute Runner". Just Google it for the u-tube video. Very simple.

    I have been making table runners (fall and holiday) from one I saw on Pinterest or Etsy. They charms are set on diagonal with a neutral or white sashing and a cornerstone. I have tried to find a picture or a link to post... argh.

    Personally, at this time of year (at any time of year), I would take this "prize" back and let someone else have the pleasure of it. But then, I'm not known for doing much of anything that someone tries to pressure me into...especially with such a crazy time limit.

    Take 5 of your charm paks and draw a 3" circle on them. Then sew them on 5 charm squares. From the remainder cut 2 1/2 " squares and border it. If you still have charm squares left create a border.
