Calla - you can use thangles for 1/2 sq triangles and there are a bunch of patterns out there for paperpiecing. You can also do two color 4 patches or multi-colored nine patches by strip piecing and cutting apart in to segments. I did a paper-pieced log cabin where the blocks are 1 3/4". If you do your foundation on water soluable or the foundation that is so thin that washing it makes it "disappear" you won't have the issue of having to remove it. Paper-piecing allows you to use bigger pieces of fabric for the parts of a small block. All sorts of books out there about miniatures. Have fun!
