Recently Mary from Country Threads contacted me and asked if I would be interested in participating in a blog hop for her latest book, Back to Charm School: More Fun Quilts from Country Threads (That Patchwork Place)
. Of course I said yes!
Back to Charm School: More Fun Quilts from Country Threads (That Patchwork Place)
Back to Charm School is filled with small projects that use charm squares. The quilts include table toppers, runners, and small quilts perfect for wall hangings.
Along with my review copy of the book, Mary sent along a book for me to give away to one of my blog readers. For a chance to win leave a comment on this post with your favorite way to use just a single charm pack of fabrics.
That’s all…oh…and here is a list of the other blogs participating in the blog hop!
I’ll keep this giveaway open until Friday! Thanks again for stopping by!

I usually buy two or three charm packs, but I did find a really neat pattern that uses one charm pack recently for a wall hanging and it was a lot of fun to make. I love trying to see what you can make with a limited amount of fabric and the differences in color value. 🙂

Just one charm pack? A week ago I would say a table runner, but I used one to make a granny square baby quilt, so I'd so that now. Course, more charm packs make big girl quilts . . .

Teri says
Charms are perfect for wallhangings and small quilts for the dining table. I like the smaller projects since I can get more done. Although I have also incorporated them into larger quilts. Can't wait to win this book! heehee.

I like to use them for fast baby quilts. I even used the same way a layer cake that I was going to make into something nice but last time that I want it to make something really nice on bed size it took me three years so I decided to make a quick 7×6 grid some borders and I had a twin size bed cover. Just like a baby quilt with charms…
Jennie P. says

I have even planned what fabric to use! I love their designs. Can't wait to see the new book.
Donna Becker says
Smaller amounts of favorite fabrics are wonderful in table toppers, dresser "scarves," and wall quilts for small areas that need a bit of color. Small projects give me a good chance to try colors and prints that I might not otherwise attempt. Love 'em!
Lindsay says
I usually use charm packs in quilts or pillows.
Shana says
ummm, use it? I thought we were supposed to horde it? If I only have one I have to save it, if I have more then I can use them, but I still keep one to horde, lol. I have been making button bags from This and That, so cute and fun!
Ginny Worden says
Pet them, Oh sometimes I actually use them, a couple of doll quilts so far.
Lisa says
I love to use 2 charm packs with one coordinating jelly roll to make a quilt!
Me and My Stitches says
Oh…you're supposed to USE charm packs? I like to just fondle them! I guess I have cut up a few to make jewelry with, and a bag or two – but I mostly like to LOOK at them!
Rulene says
I've loved reading the comments on how others use charm packs. I'm new at using precuts but has started my stash of them. Always looking for new ways to use them. Thanks for the opportunity to win the fun book.
Quiltsmiles says
Charm packs are great for many projects but one of my favorite is the schibbles patterns as wall hangings. Oh and baby quilts oh I shouldn't forget tablerunners too. Jane
PS: On my wish list to make is a xlarge queen size postage stamp quilt on point made with all of the blackbird designs fabics with an alternating solid. Am acquiring charm packs still.
Quiltsmiles says
Really , the sky is the limit for use. Charm packs are like potatoe chips, can you tell it's hard for me to choose just one. LOL

Mama Pea says
My current favorite way to use a charm pack is to cut it up for journal covers using Sweetwater's pattern. I know you know this pattern, because you made some, too. I got four journal covers out of one charm pack. I think that's pretty great! Thanks for the chance!
hueisei says
Mini quilts :)… Thanks for the chance.
Janet says
I like charm packs for table runners and applique quilts.
Sharon says
The book looks like a 'must have' for me. I have quite a few charm packs at the moment and love using them. Table runner or small quilt size is about all I can manage on my home machine when it comes to the actual quilting. Thanks for the giveaway.

I think they would make cute granny squares! Thanks for the giveaways! K-

Oh, sadly I haven't used a Charm pack yet, but when I win the book, you can be sure I will. Can't wait. Thank you!

This book looks like it would be a great reference. I don't buy many charm packs, but when i do, i have used them for baby quilts and table runners or place mat sets.

Next to Schnibbles that may require a few additional squares…I love to make mug rugs and table runners, quick and easy gifts. Lisa in Texas
Mary Ann says
Love,love,love charm packs. I started buying them when they first came out in a tin holder. I like making bags out of them.
Carrie P. says
I need this book because I have charms but have no idea what to make with them. Thanks for a chance.
Stoney says
Hi, I know there are many ways to be creative with charm packs, but I get the bright and cheerful looking ones, frame them in a solid color and assemble. Almost all of my quilts go to Project Linus these days, since my grandbabies are grown. Thanks for the giveaway!!

Laurel says
I've never actually sewn anything with just one charm pack. If I get one pack as a gift, I just admire it until I can go buy another one to match. This looks like a really good book! Thanks for the chance to win.
Carol C. says
I love this book, and love to make scrap quilts. The charm pack is a great way to get a little of a lot of different fabrics. Thanks so much.
Jeanine says
The book looks great. Would love to make a pillow in the book.
Harrysmum says
I think there are a few of here who love charm packs, but don't actually make anything with them, so I'm afraid I'm going to add myself to that list and hope I win the book so I can actually appreciate the fabric insted of it sitting in a lovely neat pile!!
Terrie says
There are sooooo many wonderful ways but I am going to say my favorites for a single charm pack are mini quilt,wall hangings. But I have had great fun doing patchwork patches as well 🙂
Chris says
I love,love,love charm packs! I would definitely make a cute hexie table runner! Thanks for the chance to win such a great book!
lovetostitch says
I adore charm packs!! I love to have some of every piece of fabric in a line and I would never be able to afford it or find a shop that could carry every line. I've used them every which way, but my next little try out will be the Little Twister – I think that topper is adorable.
Joyce Hinse says
I love your blog. I have never used charm squares but this looks like fun.
Lynn says
I like table runners, but I also like turning them into smaller squares and making nine patch blocks with sashing between.
Sharon says
Looks like a great book! I have some charm squares and thinking of making some place mats.
Kristy says
I have become so dependent on precuts lately as a result of a health issue, and difficulty with cutting. I have made several tablerunners and baby quilts. I am so thankful for charm squares…and they are so pretty.
Linda says
I have a collection of charm packs and I love the ideas in this book for using them.

Great book to use up some Charm packs! Love table runners.

Bolts and Bobbins says
I'd love to add this book to my library. Their book "Country Threads Goes To Charm School" is great and, I'm sure, this one will be great too. Charm packs are good for table runners and table cloths. Love them!
Kim says
I also am a rather new quilter–so I haven't worked with any charm packs…yet! But I think it would be charming to win a book all about how to use them! Especially since there are so many fabric collections I love, buying them in charm packs may be the only way to stay married! LOL
Cary says
The only time I've used a charm pack was to make a table runner. I really need to do this again, because it was so nice to have the fabrics already cut into squares!
Gretchen says
I just love charm pack quilts. Tablerunners are a perfect way to use just one charm pack. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of the book.

Binks says
I'm horrible… I've bought charm packs but I actually haven't used an entire one. I made a pretty scrappy pillow with most of one. I'm a quilting noob, but I'm hoarding those little guys until I find the perfect project.
