Go to Missouri Star Quilt shop and watch some of their tutorials, They show you how to do the diappearing nine patch, and a pin wheel block that is so easy. They may have some others but Right now my mind is a blank, getting to old!

I'm currently making a pinwheel quilt and it's pretty simple. I started out with 5" squares and decided they were too big for a crib so I cut it all down and blocks are now turning out to be 2.5 inches (2" when blockes are put together)! I now have to make over 250 blocks! LOL

oh my lucky you.. there are books and books that all start out with 5 inch blocks.. Nickle Quilts is one.. and More Nickle Quilts..
Since most of your squares are different, perhaps you could do a charm quilt..
I know you'll have lots of fun whatever you do!
