I bought several charm packs, and some yardage, and went crazy, and created a swatch book. That way, I'm sure I'm getting the right color when I order. 30 pages later....
This definitely says something about my personality :) But I love it!
Afterwards, I had a lot of charm squares, and decided to make a quilt with them. Since they were so many different colors, I decided to try 9-patch blocks alternating with X pattern blocks in a lattice design.
Is it too wild? I'm still not sure how I feel about it, because its SO different from my usual quilts, but I think when it's finished and quilted, it'll be really nice. If not, I'll make the 9 patches a solid center section for another quilt, and use the X's with more subtle colors
What do you do with your charm squares?
