Check out http://www.modabakeshop.com and browse "recipes" that use charm squares.

There are many interesting ideas out there. I am sure you will find the perfect project.

there are a couple really good books out there called NICKLE QUILTS...they use 5" squares...thus the nickle :)
do a search and you will find lots of patterns for nickles...and charm pack books would use the same 5" squares because charm packs are 5" squares.
have fun, the sky is the limit!

Pat Speth has 3 books published with quilt patterns that all start with 5 inch squares. They are beautiful.

Not a beginner project but I make mine into flying geese units. each 5" block makes two and then it gets real scrappy
which I love!
