I like trennag's bluesy quilt! Another pattern that uses just squares is flying squares.
I don't think you have to do a lot of cutting to make a neat quilt. I just noticed that one of my mom's quilts has a giant star block (Kansas star, maybe?) as the center medallion -- the square pieces are 5"-6" so the whole thing is easily 2 feet square.
Here is my "just lay 'em out and sew 'em together" quilt:

This is a pattern I found that I am using up some of my charm squares on...kind of like a snowball block, but with only 2 opposite corners with triangles instead of 4, and then sashing in-between.

You all have given me so many ideas, thanks so much. I have never made a D9P so I think I will try it first with my Christmas charms. I always like to work on two quilt tops at one time, using the Bonnie Hunter leaders and enders idea. I like the Missouri Star idea of making HST's by sewing around the squares so I think I will do that too. Now this afternoon while I watch the snow falling, I think I will look at the site recommended above. It sure looks good.

I have an abundance of charm packs from Missouri Star Quilt Co's Daily Deals too! Love all the options that half square triangles give you -- so many ways to put them together!
I call this quilt Disappearing Origins. It's D9P from a couple of Moda Charm Packs called Origins.
I put darker square in the middle. [ATTACH=CONFIG]404228[/ATTACH]
