Where to Find Free Charm Pack Quilt Patterns
Easy Charm Pack Projects
The simplest charm pack quilt is a grid of squares sewn straight together, which shows off every print in the collection. From there, try a nine patch, half square triangles or a disappearing nine patch, all of which can be made from 5 inch squares. Charm packs also make quick table runners, pillow covers and zipper pouches.
How Many Charm Packs Do I Need?
One charm pack makes a small baby quilt top or a table topper. Most lap quilt patterns call for two to four charm packs plus background and border yardage. Check your pattern's fabric list, and use our Fabric Yardage Calculator to plan backgrounds and borders.
