If you love to quilt then you are probably always on the lookout for quilt squares. Luckily, quilt squares can literally be found anywhere. In fact, some people will use old clothing or blankets to create new "vintage" quilts or memory quilts. For example, you could make a quilt for your newborn grandchild using pieces of your own child's favorite clothes or blankets. Some people have found using pieces of stuffed animals quite useful, too, as well as a way to add texture to the quilt. You will have a much wider selection and a better chance of finding the perfect charm pack. Of course, you can always create your own charm pack if you can't find exactly what you are looking for.

If you are shopping for quilt squares that are already cut then they come in something called a charm pack. This is a pack of fabric squares and they are all complementary. You buy a charm pack and have enough squares to create an entire quilt. Usually, they are related by theme or color, but they always have something that bring them together. There are plenty of fabric stores you can visit to browse their fabric selections. Once you find various fabrics you like all you have to do is buy the fabric and cut them into squares. Many stores also sell pre-cut fabric squares in various fabric selections. This is excellent for those who are short on time or who like to take the easy way out!
