With only a meter total, each of these is smaller than a fat quarter, right? You will not get even a generous lap quilt out of them without adding quite a bit of fabric. I think they will benefit from having one or two solid or mottled blender fabrics mixed in that will help to unify the quilt. If you like a modern look, a shadow box quilt would work well with the entire group (except maybe the intense yellow), using at least 2 blocks from each fabric, a dark gray or black for the shadows and an off white, beige or other very light color for the background. I found a post on this board that shows the basics of the design, but I think usually rectangles look better to me in this design than squares: http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...w-t116628.html The first comment has a link to one that was done in rectangles. Have fun creating!

I'm editing to add a link to a video that shows one with mixed sizes, and also explains the process: http://vimeo.com/54613518
