what to do with these lovelies?

I have this stack of 'rainbow' charm squares.........

A lovely stack indeed..........

I just have NO plans for them!

I was in 2 different charm square swaps - and this is 10 yards worth of material!  That means 560 charm squares!  A lot!  Using 400 (20x20) I could make a 90x90 quilt.  Or make them into HST's and stretch it to enough for probably 3 quilts.

Not to mention, I have 5 yards worth of 'layer cake' rainbow pieces too.  Oye.  What was I thinking?! LOL

I honestly like to have a plan for all the fabric in my closet!  What would YOU make with these charms if they were yours?

Just like the charm quilts my grandma used to make. I may even tie them like she did! I also have rainbow bricks(5x10), low volume, and I spy. Im thinking maybe 3 charm square quilts? it gets cold in the winter! :o)

  2. I was in one of those rainbow charm swaps. I'm going to use at least part of mine to do OH Fransson!'s tokyo subway map quilt. I don't know what I'm going to do with the rest of them. .. .
