Nickel Charm Packs - blue

Nickel Charm Packs - Blue

I just returned a stack of quilting books to the library and one of them was all about “Nickel Quilt Blocks”, quilt blocks made from 5” charms. The power of suggestion was so strong for me I was inspired to gather in and hoard more 5” (100% cotton) fabric charms resulting in this new swap series.

Nickel Charm Packs: twelve 5” charms in coordinating colors and prints

You will send 2 partners one blue Nickel Charm Pack each in any shade or print of blue you want. Senders may send the same Nickel Charm Pack to each partner or a different one to each if they want.

Step 1: Pick your Blue base print and at least 2 other prints that coordinate with that blue base print. Example: say your blue base print has pink and yellow flowers with green leaves; find a pink print to match the shade of pink, a yellow print to match the yellow and possibly a green print to match the leaves

Step 2: Cut twelve 5” charms from those 3 fabrics, tie the stack of charms off with a ribbon creating a tempting package like you might see displayed at the fabric shops, stick a note in the ribbon stating the swap name, and your name and send it off to your partners.

In each charm pack you may send more than 3 different coordinating prints cut in any combination as long as you send 12 charms in each Nickel Charm pack. (Example: 4 blue print, 4 pink, 2 yellow, and 2 green) Please no solid fabrics, but you may send tone-on-tone prints.

Questions and concerns are always welcome.

I will angel this swap but will publicize if you flake.

Next month our Nickel Charm Packs will be recipient’s choice base color or print.
