I've accumulated quite a stack of nickel (5") squares, mostly textures, but a lot of metallics and balis mixed in. I decided to make some lap quilts for Christmas presents, and started divvying up the squares in three groups: 1) harvest colors in browns/yellows/oranges, 2) light/medium/dark for a shaded effect, and 3) brights, for a stained glass look. At 12 x 12 (a 55" square quilt) that used up 432 squares, but I still have an amazing amount left! And each quilt is a charm quilt--all the squares are different.
