Charm Square Quilt

9patch_charms.jpg

Here’s a fantastic way to use up charm squares, Charm Square Quilt. You start with a basic nine patch of charms, then cut them down the middle and re-arrange with gorgeous results.

The finished piece looks more complicated than it really is, just don’t tell any of your non-quilting friends and they’ll never know the difference.

UPDATED:
Another version of this is the Disappearing Nine Patch.
Yet another take on this technique, Continuing Disappearing 9 patch.

UPDATED – June 2008:
Another variation, Making Hodgepodge
