What to make with these chains???
I have 7 charm packs and 2, 2 yard cuts of some matching fabric, anyone have a idea of what quilt pattern to make.. I would like to make a king size and can add some other fabric like a background fabric, if I need to..
I was thinking of the jewel box with a white background, anyone else coming up with another idea for a quilt to make with these charms? Thanks

Ribbons is a very nice pattern for those. You cut the 5" squares down the middle and add in a 1" background strip. Afterwards the square is still 5". Lay those out on point with alternating background charms. See Donna Jordan demonstrate making it on You Tube, "Jordan Fabrics". I am almost done with a Ribbons scrappy top made much larger than the one Donna Jordan makes.

What I found most interesting is that she trims off the pinked edges... so apparently they are excess to the 10" size of the layer cake. It's a neat pattern and very easy to do.

The BQ series quilts by Maple Island would work very well for these.
