Mix & Match Quilting Design Wall

I am not sure what direction I will take on this Mix and Match Sampler quilt. It is possible that I may go up to 30 blocks and make a large quilt. The blocks to the right are all hand quilted and measure 12.5 inches. They will be 12-inch blocks in a finished quilt. The blocks to the left are machine pieced and measure exactly 12-inches which means the block will be 11.5 inches in a finished quilt. Size varies between patterns, and I have noticed that machine blocks that are cut by using a Rotary Cutter for machine quilting, seem to measure 1/2 inch smaller.

This is going to be my quilting design wall and as you can see, the blocks are affixed to the wall, using masking tape. Eventually, I will figure out how to create a better wall! 

The wall quilt in the center of the blocks, is one that I made in the 90's following a Teach Yourself to Quilt book. I am using old fabrics, including leftovers from this quilt, and selecting fabric from my stash of which some pieces are very old. I do purchase new fabrics now and then to help complete a design. 

For sure the Mix and Match quilt blocks are designed and pieced using old and new fabrics.  The rest is to be determined.
