I have made a couple, though mostly with embroidered blocks. Block sizes ranged from 3,4,6,8,9,12,15 and 16". You just have to make the sizes you like, lay some out, and fit together using sashings strips of 2" squares, plain strips, or flying geese, whatever takes your fancy. I got my inspiration from a book called 'Galleria' put out by Jenny Haskins, for machine embroidery.
You can see my quilt here http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...41-556696.html and my first one using the book http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...41-454053.html You will be surprised how easily the blocks fall in to place. I have more on my to-do list using applique and piecing |
I've made several with different size blocks. I plot them out on graph paper.

Some of the BOM patterns don't use the same size blocks. I've done several.

Look at some t-shirt quilts because sometimes they have to layout with different sizes.

The most interesting sampler quilts I have seen have been those with different sized blocks. Go for it. There are lots of sources of information around for combining those elements.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]556691[/ATTACH] I'm thinking now of how the Moda "Frivols" tins are supposed to have a "frivol or two left over"... I have all 12 tins, but have not started on the "quilts" yet. It will be interesting to see if the "extra" frivols can fit in a sampler like this. |
