    Can you upload a pic or the charm pack you purchased? And welcome to the forum :-)

      Pair them up with a solid charm pack to make great baby quilts. I love the disappearing 9 patch for a cute easy baby quilt. https://quiltingtutorials.com/tutori...block-tutorial

      Another easy pattern is the falling charms pattern. I did this with 1-1/2" strips instead of 2-1/2" strips.

        You can make half square triangles with them and then make pinwheel or star blocks with those. The coin quilt is super easy too as you would just cut your squares into strips but you would need a little solid yardage to complete the top. I think Jenny has a tutorial that would give you the yardage amounts. When all else fails and your mind is blank, Pinterest, Pinterest, Pinterest!!!

          Delectable Mountains/Grand Adventure is fun with charm packs. I randomly mix the colors when reassembling them...

          A herringbone quilt is also fun, just HST's...

            You also can make a "Little Charmer" star quilt. Not a M* pattern. I think I saw it on a blog somewhere. It's just snowballed corners to make the stars. I mixed some solids with the prints. Little Charmer II - Aug. 2016 001.jpgLittle Charmer II - Aug. 2016 004.jpg

                    I'm in the same boat... looking hard at the 9 patch swap or disappearing 9 patch. Jenny has both of these in the tutorials.

                            Don't be afraid to mix up your charm packs of similar hues.

                              I made the nickel and dime quilt using a charm pack. Was fun to do.IMG_2126.jpgIMG_2126.jpg
                              I found confetti fabric and it worked perfect with my grunge fabric.
