Default Want to use a lot of 5 in squares?

I'm not one to make scrap quilts but I had lots of random 5 inch squares in a bin. I made one block and then another before I knew it i had 54 blocks made. It was fun to see how the finished block would be, like a kaleidoscope block. I didn't match anything, went with contrast or doesn't match at all. The block seems to me to be a disappearing square in a square. Some tips I found along the way. After making the first block heavy starch it before cutting again. I used 324 squares that I thought would never be used. Here is picture of my finished blocks. It was fun to make and will be a donation quilt to foster care.
