This combination of charms is a little different than we’ve done with this series in the past, they would be great to use in Half Square Triangles.

A charm square is nothing more than a square cut of 100% cotton fabric and in this swap series the charms are 5 inches by 5 inches. You don't do anything to them other than make sure they are clean and ironed. Find a pretty fabric (usually a medium to small print fabric) do your own personal prep-steps (some folks wash everything before cutting and some don't) iron your fabric and use your 5 inch ruler and cut out as many charms as you'd like from that fabric.

We use these charm squares in lots of quilting and sewing projects. I find myself sitting at home at night watching a movie with my husband and cutting out stacks of 5" charms. They are so handy and I love having a supply available for whatever project may come up.
