First comment? I love charms packs - a simple squares quilt looks stunning especially when some fantastic quilting is added. Or a Great Granny quilt - yum!!!
ReplyDeleteHello again! I follow through GFC. Great magazine and wonderful charm pack! Hugs from Harrow!!
ReplyDeleteFavourite charm pack project is the mini X-Rated quilt by Carrie Nelson in her book Schnibbles Times Two (it's the quilt on the cover) - each pattern has a big version made from Layer Cake squares and a mini version made of Charm squares x
ReplyDeleteI follow you through Bloglovin' although I find it easier to use the blog links on the sidebar of my blog (of which you are one!) x
ReplyDeleteVery generous of you! :-) A classic go-to is of course a baby-quilt...but that means having to part with the finished object afterwards. Pillows is good, you get to keep them :-)
ReplyDelete(I follow you through Bloglovin)
ReplyDeleteI love to mix a charm pack with ones of different solids, alternating them.
ReplyDeleteI follow on bloglovin
ReplyDeletemy favourite at the moment is to make simple patchwork cushion covers - 2 from each charm pack with a few charms left over. They are fast and look great. Thanks for a lovely giveaway :-)
ReplyDeleteof course I follow you (on Bloglovin!).
ReplyDeleteI agree, Bonnie and Camille have great charm projects!! Also baby quilts are charm friendly too!
ReplyDeleteI follow on Bloglovin!
ReplyDeleteI love to make HST's from charm squares, then turn them into pretty pinwheels, always a favorite!
ReplyDeleteAnd I follow you on feedly. :)
ReplyDeleteI like to add some jelly roll strips and make a simple lap quilt.
ReplyDeleteI tend to just use charm squares in simple squares quilts as I love how they look and you get maximum use out of the fabric.
ReplyDeleteI like to use them for patchwork totes or pouches.
ReplyDeleteI like to use charm packs for EPP projects. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHappy follower with GFC.
ReplyDeleteI like to use charm packs for baby quilts along with a solid fabric to anchor them.
ReplyDeleteI love simple baby quilts with charm packs, but I recently made a quilt using a tutorial from Moda Bake Shop...though I can't remember the name now, sorry! :)
ReplyDeleteI also am looking for ideas for some charm sq quilt patterns. Have a chance of flower charm pack that I can't decide what to do with. Cindy bluemoonstencils@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI like the Star Bright Quilt.

What a wonderful prize - anyone would love to win it. I love charm packs because of their versatility. One of my favorite things to do with them is to pair them with white or cream and make half square triangles. I just finished a little table topper where I made HSTs without using a solid and I love it too! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteI love the two books Carrie Nelson has published Schnibbles and Another bite of Schnibbles, for charm pack projects. You can also buy individual patterns from her website http://missrosiesquiltco.com/
ReplyDeletejen dot barnard at btinternet dot com

My favorite charm pack pattern is for making tote bags (Missouri Star Quilt has an easy-to-follow tutorial to make three totes with one charm pack). Thanks for the sweet giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteI'm already a happy follower via GFC
ReplyDeleteI think the mini cheerio pattern in that may uses a charm pack. Which is what I will make if I win. But I love the freckled whimsy charm pack qal quilt. It's a clever pattern with lots of layout options.
ReplyDeleteI love to use them to make Schnibble quilts.

ReplyDeleteSimple patchwork is a great way to show off all the prints in a charm pack without loosing any of the details. I also really want to try the new free pattern that the Fat Quarter Shop recently put out for charm squares.
ReplyDeleteI love making hourglass blocks with charm squares :-)
ReplyDeleteI haven't made anyything with charm packs yet but I want to make a mini quilt!

ReplyDeleteI like HST, then make them into whatever your heart desires!!
ReplyDeleteKatie at Swim.Bike.Quilt has a pattern for a simple quilt made of charms. The quilt changes with the choice of charms--I've made a very fun baby quilt with it and then when I used Civil War repros the resulting quilt looked sedate and mature. Great pattern.

ReplyDeleteI haven't got a charm pack pattern (as such) to recommend but I like to use charm packs to make quick HST quilts - take one patterned or coloured solids charm pack, add in a white or neutral solid charm pack, make lots of t ri angles & before you know it (maybe not quite that quickly, but you get the idea!) you have an HST QUILT TOP. THANKS FOR THE CHANCE TO WIN THIS LOVELY CHARM PACK & magazine.
ReplyDeleteI follow via Bloglovin, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI think my favourite thing to do with charm packs is to make wonky star quilts - you use 8 charms around the outside and white (or whatever else) for the centre patch of the star, plus the arms/rays of the star.

Pinwheels are fun to make with charms
ReplyDeletemixed
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! I love working with charm packs or any precuts actually as I hate cutting!! I've made HSTs with them, just as they are, chopped them in half to use as skinny rectangles.

ReplyDeleteWe have to use our charm packs? Dang! Kidding. Love the schnibbles patterns. Super fun and cute.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite, I just sorta hoard the charms until a pattern finds them. If I'm pressed and must make something with the fabric I think a simple layout that lets the patterns and colors shine is the best.
