the charm pack is 5 inch blocks.

You should have a lot of options with a 5 inch block... don't worry you'll figure it out soon.

If the block is too small, could you not put a frame around it to bring it up to size? Maybe I'm not reading correctly.

Oh, so the problem is that you need to find a block that can use the 5" charm squares in an efficient manner?

If you want really simple, you can do an uneven 9-patch. That way, you only have to cut some of the charm squares and the blocks can be set off with a plain alternating block or sashing.
