It can get overwhelming. So sample blocks are great. Eventually, when you put the samples together you would have a sampler quilt. You can combine a sample EPP with an embroidered, etc.

If you have window shades behind your quilts, sun fading won't be much of a problem. There is also sun resistant sort of home dec fabric that you can buy for backing - I use heavy denim which has held up very well.
