I like both of these. The Postage Stamp one is done with smaller squares but can't see why you couldn't use bigger squares.

Any ideas for patterns that use 4" squares? Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have :)[/quote]

How about the 10 minute block.

Quilters cache-- depression block is perfect for what you have and a fun square to make!

I'd be tempted to just make 9-patches, square them up perposefully wonky, then border each block.
