Now, my question is, how do you learn what blocks go well with other blocks? I've tried looking at quilt mag. and websites to see if there some common rule to follow when combining different blocks. I know alot depends on what you like but wondered if there is a way to judge before the quilt goes to next stage of deciding what fabrics to use, if the blocks go well together.

Mostly, it's a matter of how many squares are in the block. There are a zillion blocks with 9 squares in them. Many complement each other and form new designs when you alternate them in a quilt. The same goes for 16 patches, etc etc.
