I keep looking at all those pretty little charm packs and am so tempted to buy one (but then I look at all the yardage I have and think I really should cut my own "charm pack") ; ) ... still I am tempted by all the beautiful new fabrics. I am curious...can you share your favorite project that you completed using a charm pack?! I'd love to see what everyone uses them for! Thanks!

Thanks Bebe! I looked up Nickel Quilts... pretty amazing! Such little pieces! Not sure if I am up to that yet!

I just took a twister class at a quilt retreat. One of the girls used a charm pack for her quilt. It turned out very nice. I won a charm pack for a door prize at the retreat and have been thinking I would use it for a Twister.

Very pretty! Did you buy a charm pack and then border fabric to match, or cut your own? I guess that's something to consider too... if I decide on something with borders, I'll need to make sure I buy a charm pack that I can match fabric for borders. Thank you!
Your quilt is really pretty.... looks like lots of work. You did a beautiful job!
