10" squares are large enough that they can be cut down to any size that is at least ten inches. They are especially good for making disappearing patch quilts, such as disappearing four patch or disappearing nine patch.
This D9P is a great example of how complicated they can look. Here's another in softer hues. Both use one layer cake to make a crib size quilt.
If you want a fast, easy quilt that's a little bigger than crib size, the way to go is to use layer cakes and jelly rolls, like this quilt above. Just a few cuts and the jelly roll pieces are ready to take your blocks from 10" to 14" (unfinished) and that, friends, is a fast finish.
Of course, if you want a challenge, you can still find one with layer cakes because they are so versatile. Add a neutral and turn them into half-square triangles and see where that takes you.
