Charm packs are one of the most popular precut quilting fabrics for good reason. The versatile size makes it a great starting point for quilt patterns.

To make this couched patchwork tote bag I have used a Charm Pack. I love using 5' squares to make bags. Everything is precut and you don't have to think too hard about matching fabrics as it's all done for you. That is of course, if you are using Moda Charm Squares or another brand of precut squares. We made three variations using charm squares - my favourite is the vibrant Kaffee Fassett version you can see in the image above. However, for this tutorial, I have used Suzani by Michelle Marvig for George Parsons. I just love the colours.
In January, our guild had an “Out with the old” challenge, where we were to use up some of the oldest fabric in our stash. Back when I first started quilting (I think around 2006), I bought four packages of 100 floral 4″ charm squares on eBay. The person selling them was putting them up […]

I decided to make a little sheet illustrating the number of squares you could cut from a fat quarter based on the size you needed. This way, I won't have to do so much math! Ha. It's probably best for my brain to have to do math but this is just so much easier and prettier to look at than a calculator. View the 8.5"x11" version here. View all of my cutting guides here.

There seems to be a heavy sigh when the words: half square triangles is used.
I found this amazing idea for half square triangles by the Missouri Star Quilt Company on Youtube. I thought I would do it to make sure it really works and see how accurate this is...... First take two charm squares. Stack them up, right sides together. Sew a 1/4" all around the outside edge. I started on a side but now realize I should have started in a corner, but it doesn't make that much difference. It will look like this....you can see my little wobble on the left hand corner... Use your rotary cutter and ruler and cut from corner to corner. Flip them open and voila! you have perfect half square triangles.....One note of caution, the edges are on the bias. It is most important to PRESS not IRON your finished square. This is a cool idea and I will use it in the future. If you measure a charm square they are a little bit over 5", as you can see in this picture. If you cut your own charm squares exactly 5" you will get an exact 2 1/2 " finished square. My friend Terry just emailed me and said, if you cut your own on the bias they would turn out with the edges on the straight of grain.....another good reason for friends! I am just a little slow on the uptake or have you heard of this technique before? Isn't it always the simple things that amaze us? Or maybe it is just me!! Kelly

Christy Jr made this quilt for her daughter, Elly, and it was so much fun to make we had to share! The pattern is from Missouri Star, and is called the Disappearing Four Patch. All you need are your standard rulers, rotary cutter, iron, sewing machine, and five inch charm squares. We used Fossil Fern Quilting Squares and Cotton Supreme Optical White (but there are lots of charm square options out there!). See the photo tutorial below of how me made our quilt! The blocks are sewn together, ironed, then trimmed to nine inches. Then the block is cut into three inch pieces and the outer center pieces are rotated one position clockwise. Then the pieces are sewn back together as a whole block. A major part of the "look" for this quilt was a color gradient, so we spent a fair amount of time arranging and re-arranging the squares before settling on a final layout. Since we didn't really plan out the squares ahead of time, we ended up making a few extra blocks that helped transition colors. For example, there's a block with a yellow bottom and orange top, and another with a pink top and dark bottom. All in all, this was a blast to piece together. We added borders, and quilted with our popular West Wind at Night Edge-to-Edge. As you can see, the stars add a lot of fun and flavor to the quilt, and the swirls provide good coverage and movement! And here's the happy recipient of the quilt getting cozy before a little nap! And if you're interested in learning more about how to make this pattern, check out this fantastic YouTube tutorial made by Missouri Star Quilt Co.
