    Default Okay... I need opinions...

    I need to make a quilt in a hurry... I have two Charm packs...

    I am thinking I could do a BIG IRISH Chain... or make four patch blocks alternating with cream fabric squares the same size.

    Have you done either? Do you think it will look alright? I like big blocks, fast results, but not sure about this being TOO simple.

    Hit me...

    Hmm...would it be too much work to make them all into HSTs (two per charm) with the cream fabric? That way you have lots of layouts to choose from!

    Or simpler: Cut the cream into charms as well, than sew them together charm - cream - charm - cream etc., but start each row with the alternating fabric (once cream, then charm). That way you get a kind of "Falling charms" design.

    That would be a big Irish chain. Your squares to go with the 9 patch would have to be 13.5". That sure would make 2 charm packs go a long way, but do you have enough solid to do it?
