Carrie Nelson (Miss Rosie's Quilt Company) has a series of patterns under the Schnibbles line that are based on 5" squares. and so on.
You can also just sew them together in rows and join the rows. Or make 9-Patches, perhaps then "Disappear" the 9-Patches.
Depends on how many you have and what you want to do with them,

I would find some fat quarters of some picture/scene or baby animal (I made an adorable baby quilt with fat quarters of penquins and sky scenes along side solid fat quarters) and cut them accordingly and place them in alltinating blocks. The quilt was one of the best looking I had remembered making and had to pass it off to the Mom very quickly so I id not take a picture of it and I regret that all the time. It truely was an attractive quilt.
