The Charming Beginner

The Charming Beginner

150 years ago, charm quilts were all the rage. They were made with scraps gathered from friends, neighbors, and old projects. Often, no two squares were alike! In our day, charms come ready-made with perfectly coordinated colors and prints. Those little 5-inch squares are the building blocks of many of Jenny’s favorite quilts—including the Charming Beginner Quilt. This pattern is perfect for new quilters, and it requires just one charm pack from Serena Shores by Robin Pickens for Moda.
