There are some nickle quilt books by Pat Speth with beautiful patterns. I have been to 2 classes for 1 quilt and still can't figure it out. The picture looks reasonably easy. Ha! It's me not the teacher. Oh well, it may remain a UFO for ever. Good Luck. You will probably become a fan of them and have success quilting them.

So essentially a nickel quilt is a charm quilt?

It can be. The quilts in the book Nickel Quilts show the nickels cut into different sizes and shapes. But you can certainly leave them be and make a charm quilt. They are scrappy quilts without a doubt. The book does call for pairs of nickels, but I guess you can do whatever you want!
