I have been using 4" and 5" for 2 disappearing 9-patch quilts; I've seen them with 6", too large, loses its effectiveness
I use 2 1/2", 3" and 3 1/2" for other tops
My 1 1/2" day are over. I made my Postage Stamp years ago.
I sometimes do a checkerboard border with them though.
I'm using 6" and 8" squares to make 2 quilts with sports,animals and New England looking fabric for the 2 sons of neighbors who've been very kind and helpful to me. They'll be a surprise this winter.
Charms, by the way, have been around forever, long before Moda fabrics even existed.

I had a few made at my local glass shop. They made them in about 1/4" thickness of some kind of plastic.
If you go that route - tell them accuracy is critical.
