Simple Moda Love Charm Quilt using 5" CHARM SQUARES! 1st in our series to use 5" squares or charms!

- Brand New Series designed to use up charm packs or 5 inch squares of leftover fabrics!
I love charm packs! Those cute little bundles of fabric lure me in and make me buy them.
Now I need to start using them before the collection I have overwhelms me! Fortunately there are hundreds of awesome projects that use charm packs to make anything from full sized quilts to baby quilts to bags and more! We will be using charm packs for all of the projects, but leftover fabrics from projects cut into 5" squares will also work! Most of the videos will include a sample made from a charm pack (or two or three or more) AND a sample made from leftovers from other projects.
Make your own charm packs! Cut up your stash and create your own charm packs using fabric you already own. One fat quarter can be cut up to make 12 five inch squares. A third of a yard of fabric can be cut up to make 16 five inch squares. When you finish a project, if you have leftover yardage, cut it into five inch squares and start a pile to use for future projects. Have some fun with your stash of fabrics!
For the final version of the quilt in the video, I added two piano key borders to it using my 2 1/2" strip bucket! If you use a charm pack and want to make it bigger, buy a jelly roll that coordinates with the charm pack to use in the borders! A perfectly coordinated quilt!

You’re not the only one in danger of stuff getting totally out of control, either! 😊
I made all three sizes of this pattern last year. On the layer cake one, I sent it out for quilting and when it came back I wanted it for my queen bed, I had a jelly roll of the fabric Id used and so I made a piano key border. I had just enough backing fabric to add it on. I'd never added to a quilt once it had been quilted before but it was surprisingly simple. Then for the charm size, I had 4 charm packs and I decided to make 4 identical quilts and sewed them all together to make a big one. They all turned out pretty and were fun to make. I would make one again! I like the way you broke down construction. I wished I'd thought of that but I'm glad to learn form your experience!
Did you used 4 same fabric collection charms?
@@elestehorn4290 Yes, I did because I had 4 but you could use 4 different ones and make it really scrappy. But since I made mine identical (if I remember correctly) there were lots of leftovers.
I also love charm packs!!! Plus, with today's economy, one or two of them is often all I can afford to get a fabric collection that I love.
This is going to be a great series! Thank you so much 😊
Thank you the ideas with the charm pack. I like the idea of coloring the help sheet and then cutting it apart in the sections needed. Great organizing technique.
All three are absolutely gorgeous, but I think the scrappy, colorful one with the piano key border is my favorite!
And, I have been wracking my brain for a simple but beautiful pattern to make my best friend's new preemie baby. Im inspired, and now to go dig through my charm packs!
Excited for this series! I look forward to your 2 1/2 inch strip projects every month, so it’s great to have another series.
I loved your 2.5” strip series and now I have your charm squares series to look forward to. Thank you so much.
I have a lot of charm packs so this is great!
I LOVE charm packs. I make scrappy quilts, so I get a lot of bang for my buck from them.
I absolutely love charm packs for fabric previewing! It has saved me sooo much money because I buy most of my fabric online and it’s so hard to tell if I’m going to really love a fabric line in real life.
I almost bought a whole fat quarter bundle last week but decided to get the charm pack instead and ended up not liking the fabric as much as I thought I would. Yay for this series! I was just trying to figure out what I should do with all these charm packs I’m accumulating 😄 Ps- this is also my favorite charm pack pattern. With some borders it makes a perfect baby floor quilt!
I ❤ God, coffee, cats, moose, trees, outdoors, funny grumpy old women, French blue and white patterns, all things Christmas and so so much more
❤
The piano keys made a stunning quilt!
I love charm packs, but I use jelly rolls more, so I'm always looking for ideas to use charm packs.
Your straight line quilting looks simple, as you seem to be following the seams in the quilt blocks.
Oh my gosh I love this! Amazing job as always ❤ I’m so happy to hear you’re a collector of charm packs too😂 now I need to go look through mine ❤
I like the charm packs, layer cakes etc. because I’m not very good at getting colors that look well together. The packs are very helpful in that way.
Oh, I love the last one, with piano key border. So pretty. The colours are gorgeous. I also love charm packs but am yet to open one. It's so wrong. TFS
I loved the piano key additions to the quilt top!!
I started collecting charm packs when Missouri Star began doing the Daily Deals. I have a lot of them and I’m really looking forward to the projects!
They all are gorgeous!I love watching you working on them. Thank you for sharing.
I love charm packs. I have made this pattern and love it too. Think I need to make it again and add a piano key border.
I love all your different quilts a great idea for those charm squares we collect as you have said just because they are pretty🫣I love your backing fabrics especially the blue and pink stripe one 🦋
This is fabulous! The colouring sheet is a game changer for me !
I’m going to love this series 😊
I’m making a Christmas quilt using 5 inch charm packs. I need (4) charm squares for each block with sashing in between. Using the charms I don’t have to cut squares and I’m getting of variety of the fabric line. Love this video today, well done!
This is a gorgeous quilt!
I love your style of sewing… very close to the way I sew…
I’ve never bought pre cut fabrics… I like to cut my own pieces as it saves having to “square“ and my points all match…I like to make a lot of HST from different fabrics and save in small containers and I can always layout a quick quilt top and sew-in-a-day…
I do want to try your piano border! It is stunning!!❤
Loved the quilts and the scrappy piano border 🤩
I loved the way you colored and cut your plan into pieces. Made much less confusing.
I love charm packs also.
Beautiful work and great video presentation. Great job!
I’m a total sucker for a charm pack on sale. I can’t resist!
I like the scrappy one the best. Great video.🎉
Scrappy quilt was beautiful
Will be adding this to my "charm pack" Pinterest board! I love charm packs for their fun variety of a collection. So many different things that can be made.
love it ,thank you.
These were very beautiful!! Thank you for the great instructions!!
Your instructions are excellent! Thank you for sharing.
I loved the last one with the piano key border! I liked the way you did the border as well. Will have to try that method. Thanks for sharing!
Ich liebe wie gut sie die Arbeit erklären auch die Filme sind sehr gut vielen Dank freue mich schon auf die neue Serie herzlichen Dank liebe Grüße aus Germany from Sabine
I love all three of these!! Great instructions, and I really like it that the music is very quiet while you are sewing and allows to hear you when you talk. That is really appreciated as the music can be distracting and annoying!
Great video! I am looking forward to all your charm pack ideas. I not only have a nice little collection of charm packets but make a lot of quilts for children and have many hundreds of 5” charms cut from leftovers that I really need to start using. My designated storage boxes for 5” squares are pretty full, so time to sew!
The sectioned approach to construction is a great tip, and so is the layout pieces! I've wanted to make this pattern but got overwhelmed by the long rows--- you've made it look much easier. These series are wonderful.
Yay another series thankyou so much from Australia
Your quilts were so cheerful. Thanks for the hint to make quadrants rather than rows.
Oh yay I'm so glad we're exploring nickel squares next. How fun!
I really loved your 2 1/2" strip series. Looking forward to this series. I'm a newbie and enjoy your teaching method. Very easy to follow and if I don't understand something I can stop and start video. Thank you for what you do for all of us. Oh and thank you for the idea of the leaders and enders. It is a life saver. I always had the "bird's nests" at the beginning of my sewing that was so frustrating.
Thank you for these videos. I have a set of 4 charm packs that I’ve had for at least 10 years, waiting for the right pattern. My fingers are crossed that I’ll see one on your videos. Thanks again! Love all your videos!!
I have made this quilt....fun! LOVE your scrappy version with the piano key borders!!
I love your tutorials, you explain so clearly. Thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Love ALL your videos. You are so great to listen to as well. There are several of your 2 1/2 inch quilt patterns I hope to do. Thank you for all you do. keep them coming.
I like your method of piecing, the quilts are so cheerful!
This is the first time that I have had explained on how to use the coloring pattern sheets and how to use them to keep track of the piecing! Where have I been, not to know this? I always seen here are coloring sheets if you want to use them, but not how to use them. Maybe it was taught in a quilting class of which I have never attended one, except for YT.
Your cutting technique is awesome! So quick and efficient 😊
Love this pattern -- great for layer cakes, too!
Charm packs are very nice to use, my personal favourite was Cranberries and Cream by 3 Sisters. Thanks for sharing yours loved them all. 👍❤️🙂
Cute quilts. Great use of 5 inch squares and piano key borders
Great video! I’ve been quilting for over 25 years and I learned several new things today.
I'm looking forward to more charm pack quilts. I have a tote full of them!! Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Thank you. I learned that you can iron after spraying “505” and loved the tip to pin the corners after sandwiching … great tips.. looking forward to next month.
I have bought only one Charm pack (and it was by Moda). I needed a kit in a hurry. That charm pack made it much easier to get the whole kit ready in one evening, for a class I was taking. The quilt was very pretty when I finished it. Everything matched very well. Your quilts are beautiful.
I made one similar for my dad. I divided the pattern into quarters. I worked great. I like yours as the pattern I was using was made as a layer cake pattern. It was fast but huge. Putting them in smaller sections like you had might have made it easier. Wish I'd seen yours earlier
Nice job love your videos always interesting thanks
Great video…I love all the ways you finished these quilts!❤
I also have collected lots of charm packs! I enjoy your videos very much. Thanks for this new series.
You are amazing. Just love your colour sample put with sewing blocks. Excellent. Love charm packs as well. Beautiful video
Thank you so much!
I love the scrappy one with Minky back.❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing
Great video on using charm packs.
I love your series just like the 2 1/2 one, your block of the month,your state block which I am doing presently I am on my 27 th block. You are an inspiration. Where I am from I only have access on yardage fabric, you give tips on doing it different. Thank you. God bless.
Wonderful!
Loved it !!!
beautiful quilt----thank you for sharing
I looked up the Lock Block square! I might have to go back to work to afford it! Crazy!
Loved all three that you made but the one with the piano key borders made my day....so pretty - loved all the bright fabric. Thank you for sharing.
My mom, my sister and I made this pattern. I did the mini with mini charms and taught my mom with the charm pack size. All three of us chose our own color way and we’ll all have a version of this pattern in our home 😊
I have all sorts of charm packs! I love them!!
You're videos are the best!😊
Thank you so much 😀
Good Morning from Washington State. I finished cutting and sewing the hst yesterday. I put everything up on my project wall & boy did it pop!! I moved a couple of blocks around and then my husband came in and moved a couple more. I will start sewing it together later this afternoon. I am thinking of making a second one and turning it into a lap quilt using jelly roll strips between the squares. 😊
I love how you plan your quilts and make scrappy look so beautiful!! I have colored the pages but never thought to color 2 and cut one into sections for sewing instructions! Learn so much every time and watch your videos. And your voice is pleasing to the ear and you don’t ramble! Sometimes with other videos I’m like will you get to the point already 😂. Love charm packs as well. Finished up 2 quilts this weekend using pre cuts!
Thank you so much!
I really like this pattern and it’s very easy to change the starting Charm Size piece (5”) up or even down!
Coloring chart great idea .... love your video on this great project... I’m going to try this with my charm packs
I just love these videos! I was just getting ready to start my first strip bucket quilt but now wow the bin of charm squares is calling me! Thanks so much for all the tips - I love the grid idea. I am pattern challenged so lay out everything on a design board.
Very lovely ! Thank you for sharing. 😊
Thank you! I love this. I’ve been looking for a pattern for my 4 1930’s charm packs. This will be perfect!
Great ideas for placement
I like it better with the border. 😊
AWESOME!!!!! I like the first one you made best with the piano key boarder. That was too cute! Can't wait for more to come in the series!!!!!
Thanks so much!!
That’s a fun quilt. Yours is beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
I hadn't thought to use a seam ripper when you need to release the fabric immediately behind the needle. Thank you.
Love this one.
Beautiful quilts.
Love your directions...very clear!
All 3 turned out beautiful. Thank you
Thank you! 😊
I need this this!
looks amazing love the colors
That was a very smart way to keep up with where you are in the pattern!! Is this a free pattern, Where do I find it?
Yes, it's a free pattern. There's a link in the description of the video
Boy, do I ever need this series!! I just did a rough count and I have over 120 charm packs. When I first started quilting 3 years ago, they were affordable and so pretty that I bought so many, then realized that I wasn't sure what to do with them. So I started collecting layer cakes and 2.5 strips. I think I have enough fabric to outlive me.
Wow it lovely 🌹🤩💞😍
I hope this doesn't mean no more quilts from strips in your stash. I love those. Please do more. Then we would get quilt projects per month. 😂😂😂😂
I'll still be doing strip videos as well!😁
Great instructions. Thanks heaps
I love charm packs
Charm square love! Thrilled with your new ideas.
