I understand your question babyruth. That is the challenge. There are several ways to do this. I generally lay them all on the design wall and just look at them and try to imagine how they would look. Sometimes this takes a couple of days depending on what I am doing. Then once you come up with an idea of how you would like them to work, then start laying your pieces to coincide . Sometimes a 6" will work with a 3" to make a 9" which can stand next to another 9" then have a pice of fabric over them to make them the 12" to fit next to another. I am not sure how you want your neighborhood, but lets say you are doing rows, then you may have a 3" row, 6" row, 9" row and 12" row with the 12" at the bottom and this will give the perspective of you standing on a street and the others, because the size is smaller will give dimension as in a background. You get the idea?

Crafty, I received my blocks. Thank you so much for hosting. I have a few more blocks I want to add to my funky house "neighborhood". I love every single one and can't wait to start putting it together. Thank you everybody for the great blocks.!

Thank you QuilterMomma, that makes sense. Thanks, it will be fun to look for fillers and play with them.
