Hi Louise:

A table runner would be a nice and easy gift as well. You could use the D9P that the gals are talking about, or you could just sew up the charms as is to make 4 1/2" squares by the width you want. You could do a rectangle of 3 squares X 6 squares, add a border and it finished! A very easy quilt for a beginner.

Have fun with whatever you decide, and post pictures when finished!!!
