Thought I'd just start down the list at quilterscache making whatever 12" blocks tickle my fancy and look challenging. Then just try different layouts until I like it.
The quilt would be king size so I'd need quite a few blocks!

Why couldn't you pick whatever blocks you wanted to do. It is your quilt and you can do whatever you please.
I remember way back in the 80s, someone told me , "A little bit of yellow goes a very long way." Well, my favorite color is yellow and a "little bit" is not nearly enough! Just look at my avatar.
Good luck with your project and do it your way!

I love sampler quilts. I plan on making a day bed cover out of every block I can find that I just have to make. It'll be fun, and you'll learn something every block you make. No quilt police anywhere here. Have fun.

Sounds like a good plan to me... I'm about doing the very same thing. And if the quilt police DO come after you, just flash your Quilter's License, and they'll back off. <G> The good thing about quilt police is that they can only get to you if you LET them. <G>

That is probably how the quilt police would do it too(if they existed)

I'm going to do my sampler MY way too...let's give those quilt police a blanket party!!!
you toss a blanket over them and bish-boom-bah and they go crying to whoever will listen...not us ;-)
We won't hurt them...just scare the goobledy-gosh out of 'em! :lol:
