Setting multi sized blocks together

sashings here and there to make them fit. It's easier if the blocks are 2, 4, 8, 16.
Or 3, 6, 12, 24. You could also group a few of the small blocks to make a
bigger block.
BTW, Pat Sloan has some videos where she shows how she puts her
odd blocks together. It doesn't have to be boring.
Have fun!

I can relate. With all those different sizes, you might have to add a few
sashings here and there to make them fit. It's easier if the blocks are 2, 4, 8, 16.

I need to see things in color rather than using graph paper. I would decide on a generic size block, say 12" or 16" finished. Then I would group blocks together, perhaps by color or design, and set them together into 12" or 16" blocks. It might involve adding a neutral filler or skinny sashing in between. Or maybe fill in with some checkerboards or flying geese to get things up to size. Then I'd put the blocks together.
