Setting multi sized blocks together
#12
sashings here and there to make them fit. It's easier if the blocks are 2, 4, 8, 16.
Or 3, 6, 12, 24. You could also group a few of the small blocks to make a
bigger block.
BTW, Pat Sloan has some videos where she shows how she puts her
odd blocks together. It doesn't have to be boring.
Have fun!

I can relate. With all those different sizes, you might have to add a few
sashings here and there to make them fit. It's easier if the blocks are 2, 4, 8, 16.

I need to see things in color rather than using graph paper. I would decide on a generic size block, say 12" or 16" finished. Then I would group blocks together, perhaps by color or design, and set them together into 12" or 16" blocks. It might involve adding a neutral filler or skinny sashing in between. Or maybe fill in with some checkerboards or flying geese to get things up to size. Then I'd put the blocks together.
