If the blocks are different sizes, the frames are made wider as needed to make them all the same size. Some smaller blocks might even get two frames (or three). How about tiny piano keys on the smallest blocks. The possibilities are endless.

You're probably right. Maybe once I finish all the other projects floating around in my head, I'll pull a bunch out and figure out a way to make a sampler. I like your idea of adding frames or other touches with different fabrics to make them the same sizes. I'd love to get all these extra parts and pieces out of storage once and for all. Sometimes a fresh perspective is just what I need to get re-motivated!
