    Make a "Twister" quilt. It's really fun and looks so nice when done.

    I just made this halloween quilt from a 5 inch charm pack, it's a disappearing 4 patch block, it was fun and easy. I'm sure there's a tutorial available here, but I just googled disappearing 4 patch to find instructions.

    Do both of the above, plus have used them for yo-yo's.

    Just look at any other pattern using squares and go from there!

    Some Christmas placemats and table runners would be great. Very little work to do with the precuts.

    I've made a bunch of coasters using my 5" squares. Tie up a batch with ribbon, and voila! Instant hostess gifts.

    I made a star quilt with my nickles. I cut them in quarters for the points and the centers were cut to 4 1/2 inches.. the star was saw tooth star.
