Yes, do whatever you want to do ...
Yes, it is a collection of different blocks ... that's what a SAMPLER quilt is all about!
We've had lots of variations already here on the QB by those that have done their own FWS quilts.
Check out the threads related to it and see the quilts that have been made or are still WIP.
Mine is completed and going to the Fair tonight.
Many are now working on the PC blocks too.
As for your Quilt Police fears ... I am sure Laurie Aaron Hird is not going to come and check your work.
Goodness!
