Well, if you 12 inch and 6 inch, you could arrange them in a 4 to 1 fashion, but I think the colors you might use would make a difference also. Pick just a few main colors and have them run through all of the blocks. I think you could successfully avoid a scrappy look that way.

You certainly can use the same block in different sizes, too. You could make one block that is 12 X 12 and alternate with 4 blocks that are 6 X 6. You could do whatever you want...No quilt police on this watch!

You can use different sized blocks, but it does get to be a bit of a puzzle if they aren't even fractions of each other. It might take a bit of figuring to know where to place them, so the edges line up.
