Yes, that makes perfect sense. I do that too. I have a piece I know is right as my "constant", and fit the other one to it, as needed. Line up you seam line for the "constant".

Here is another pattern for our scrappy and white blocks that I think is lovely. It's called "Blades of Color".

Some additional blocks would have to be made with more white in them, but I thought you'd like to see this pretty quilt that you could use your blocks in.

Forgot to mention: The pattern is written for starting with 2" squares, rather than our 2.5" ones, so it would have to be adapted just a bit.
