Have you ever gone rogue with your quilting? Like challenging yourself to do things a little differently? Well, if not, today is that day. We’re encouraging you to go on an adventure in your sewing room, and there’s only one thing you need to pack – a Charm Pack!
How cute is having little collections of your favorite designs? Charm Packs are collections of 5″ squares that usually come in stacks of about 42 different fabrics. (They’re known by other names depending on the manufacturer).
A more affordable option than some other precuts, Charm Packs are beloved for many reasons. These 5″ squares are perfect for piecing and creating smaller quilts. Who hasn’t made a baby quilt with 5″ squares? They’re also a favorite for beginner quilters starting to build up their stashes!
Charm Pack Challenge
We’re taking 5″ squares and turning them into something charming, scrappy, and fun. We want to invite you to get creative with us by issuing a challenge to the worldwide quilting community to sew something with only Charm Packs!
What can you make with a 5″ x 5″ square? Kimberly put her creativity to the test by making her Charm Pack quilt in just two hours! Her finished quilt is a scrappy 39.5″ square.
If you’d like to try this yourself, check out the video for a chance to win a $100 Fat Quarter Shop gift card! Find all the contest details in the description box of the video.

This is super cute! I’m going to make one.
Oh my word! You saved the day for me. I have a huge stack of 4” squares that a friend gave me. I have already made 3 quilts from the stack but still have more. I grabbed the bunch last night after watching the video and made the first block in nothing flat! I need to make six to achieve the size I want. AND I finally understand the concept of webbing!! Thank you, thank you!!!
What a great project to work on with my 11 year old granddaughter who is showing an interest in sewing! Thank you!
I love this thanks for sharing. I’ve got some halloween squares and this would be perfect.
I think the Birdsong fabric would make a beautiful baby quilt.
The pink or blue would be great for a baby quilt.
I’d like to do the Charming Christmas tree quilt.
I am late to the party. However, I am in the process of completing a top. This is fun!
Were winners announced?
Hi Kim, they were announced on social media since that’s where the giveaway took place. I’ve also updated the post above to now show them.
Hope that helps! 🙂
Thank you Marissa. I was also wondering as I didn’t see any post on Instagram. I don’t use Facebook.
Of course! Just happy to have helped!
I am making it with jungle paradise charm squares
