I think it's kind of fun to throw in a one color set among the others. I did one in greens with no repeats in my other sets--so someone could get 2 sets from me with no repeats. Another thing I did was threw in an extra square (in case I can't count right!) which was the same in every set. It worked as a 50 square marker for me.
FYI I have all the blocks sewn for my version of Growing Up Odd from
MarthaT's post #43. Now to sash them--I'm using a navy tonal for sashes instead of white and making 16 blocks rather than the 25 in the pattern. Have I really been sewing that much since the 29th
