If you are feeling adventurous you can make your own using quilt blocks from quilter's cache. http://www.quilterscache.com/QuiltBlocksGalore.html
You just have to make sure your blocks have a common denominator, usually 3 because so many blocks finish at 12". You can make 3", 6" and 9" blocks to go with the 12" and piece together and no reason you can't go bigger on some like 15" or 18". Do not under estimate the power of filling strips and units like a FG unit that is evenly divisable by 3 (if that is the number you choose). Graph paper is your friend in these cases.

I am thinking about making a quilt for a Christmas gift. I am wanting to make a quilt with multiple sized blocks in it and I am wondering if anyone has some pattern recommendations? I am hoping for a queen sized quilt and I don’t mind buying the pattern if I like it. Thanks!
I used one of their patterns, and instead of merely fabric, I used Christmas redwork type machine embroidery designs in several of the blocks, and also used primarily quilter's flannel for the remaining blocks. It was backed with flannel and my daughter uses it every Christmas!

I made a t-shirt quilt with different size blocks. The idea is to do multiples of some dimension and then add the 1/2" seam allowance. Mine had 4.5", 8.5", and 12.5" blocks, and once they're all made they can fit together very nicely. Putting them together is like solving a puzzle.

I did this one last year and I loved it! The directions were excellent. http://www.happyquiltingmelissa.com/...-along_30.html
I collected so many fabrics for this quilt that I think I've decided to make this one with all the leftover fabrics. https://smile.amazon.com/Its-Sew-Emm...s%2C193&sr=8-1

Stunning quilt pattern. I think I will bookmark that one for awhile. Thanks for sharing.
