Charm squares are smallish squares (usually around 5" square or so) cut
from a bunch of different fabrics, often for the purposes of swapping. I
think a lot of quilt stores also sell charm square packs as well. So a
charm quilt is one made up out of charm squares. Pretty straightforward,
and I think simple quilts can look very effective. I love checking out all
the different prints especially in scrappy charm quilts.

I am afraid I can't recommend a good supplier. The only quilt fabric shop I
have bought from is http://www.thequiltersstash.com/ They don't sell kits
or charm squares but if you ever want to buy yards or fat quarters, their
service is excellent and friendly and they ship promptly. Their range is
good and prices reasonable. Not affiliated, just a very happy customer.

Good luck with your quilts. Post pictures! :o)

The Fat Quarter Shop does some lovely charm packs:

Nice ones here too:

This site also has some nice beginners kits, but I'm not certain they
are pre cut.

I love the patterns for charm squares that the Fat Qtr Shop
stocks. They have become very popular over here. I am sure
other shops have them too.

Quilted Quickies is a shop here in Arizona. (Actually a studio that has
patterns and fabrics for sale.) she mostly sells on line and at shows.
Jeree specializes in Charm packs and has lots of them. She also has a
line of patterns out called Charm School which focus on using charm packs.
I am working on charm pack patterns, and there is also a book by someone
else I know that will be coming out in the fall using charm packs.
