This is very clever. I would have never thought of this. It turned out very pretty. Love the idea.

Having a large number of blocks in assorted sizes/quilt patterns ... Would this method work? Should I start with
Groups of blocks to make a set of same size squares, etc? Then set them together. Help ... I don't want to
Discard all my "samples".

Yes, it will definitely work. Just work up your "samples" with a border to make them 12 1/2" square. If you use the same color border for all of your blocks, this will give good continuity in your color palette.
(Start by adding a neutral border to your odd block
with enough fabric that you can trim it to 12 1/2")
Have fun! I would love to see a picture when you have it finished.

very nice idea. Sometimes all I need is a nudge to get me thinking how I can use up what's sitting in my closet! Thanks!

I like scrap quilts and this is a wonderful way to make one.

I am glad I came back to this. I love it and need to start something like this.
