Puss in the Corner makes a nice block if you're trying to show off some embroidery. It's pretty easy to do. Just sew a 4 patch with 5" squares, I would put the embroidered square or whatever I was interested in keeping whole in the lower left, the square above and the one to the right should be the same fabric (something that will make a nice frame for the embroidered block), the one on the top right will be the corners. Make a cut 2 1/2" in from the right side of the 4-patch, sew the cut-off piece onto the left side. Then make a 2 1/2" cut down from the top and sew it on to the bottom. That's it. It could be done with almost any size squares, just make your cuts half the size of the original squares of fabric.
