This was going to be my suggestion. I think this way of making pinwheel blocks is so clever.

I had a bunch of 5" squares, charm packs, and after seeing this video spent today making pinwheel blocks. They turned out really cute and were super easy. I think I will turn them into table runners for Christmas presents. (or maybe a wall hanging for me!)

I made a quilt many years ago with 5in sq. some repeats and some one of a kind . Put together in rows, made into a king size, picked one on the colors and put a border on. Then in one corner I appliqued a large bow with the tail down across the quilt. It was beautiful when finished it is my DDIL favorite quilt.

Go to www.modabakeshop.com and go to the Bakery section, click on charm packs and you can see all kinds of things you can do with 5" squares! I have made a pinwheel baby quilt from 5" squares

There is no end to what you can do with 5" squares! Put them aside and keep an eye out for a pattern or square that catches your eye or add other charm packs to them.
