A friend gave me some appliqued 5" blocks & I'm wanting to use them alternately with a pieced block in a quilt. Because it is such a small block I'm thinking it will be a baby quilt. The appliques are hearts & I'd love to find a 5" simple heart block. I'm fairly new to quilting & so far have found most of my patterns on the internet. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I don't do "little". What I'd do is frame out the blocks you have to maybe 8" finished and use a bigger pieced block to finish out the quilt.

Duh to me. I thought charm squares were 5" unfinished

Even if a 5" block were used, it wouldn't give you a 5" finished block without a lot of waste.
