I think "crackers" is simply the Hoffman manufacturer Bali version of the "layer cake". They are both 10" squares. Bali has crackers and snaps (5" squares).
The books I mentioned above provide the same patterns for 10" squares and 5" squares. For the 10" squares, the patterns typically require two packs of layer cakes. I don't have the books here now, so I can't tell how many 5" squares the smaller quilts take. I am thinking you could make the smaller quilts by cutting your 10" squares into 4-5" squares, but not sure.
