A further generalization:

With[{pDim = _Integer?NonNegative},
  With[{pDims = pDim | {pDim, pDim}},
    ClearAll[matmush];
    matmush[size : pDims, mats : {(_[_?MatrixQ, pDims]) ...} : {}] :=
     Fold[#1 +
        ArrayPad[#2[[1]],
         Transpose@{#2[[2]] - {1, 1},
           1 + size - Dimensions[#2[[1]]] - #2[[2]]}] &,
      ConstantArray[0, size*{1, 1}], mats];
    ];
  ];

matmush[{3, 5}, {
   {{a, b}, {c, d}} -> 1,
   {{1, 0}, {0, 1}} -> {2, 1},
   Array[f, {3, 3}] -> {1, 4}
   }] // MatrixForm

matmush[2] // MatrixForm

matmush[5, {Array[f,{3,3} -> 2}] // MatrixForm
