Maybe the small scale prints/ solids, the balance of the color intensity...not sure. Do like the friendship stars in the sashing strips for sure!
It is more pleasing than other sampler quilts because, as you mentioned, the fabrics mix quietly and also all the blocks are made from HST. The shapes are all similar enough to make them feel like they belong together. They also share a common background, white. I like sampler quilts and this one really works!
