    Pair them up and make fast & easy pinwheels.

    The tutorial uses layer cakes but I've used charm squares to make an ultra fast table topper.

    I dare you to take them ALL out of the package and toss them together and then pull out which ones YOU think GO TOGETHER

    I've never bought charm packs. I think alot of quilters buy them because they look so good. But after they get them they have the same question you do. What do I do with these?

    I totally agree. Love to use them to make pinwheels for baby quilts. Quick and easy.
