This also applies to minor keys (also all modes).
The next examples are with C Harmonic Minor.

Normal Progression: 
Find common tone and move other voices scale wise.


First examples will all be in C harmonic minor (4 note chords) using Normal Progressions:
Ascending chord progressions. (notes are written lowest tone on left to highest tone on right)
These chords are all created from the C Harmonic Minor Scale: C, D, Eb, F, G, Ab, B, C.
C, Eb, G, B    (C minor major seventh)
C, F, Ab, Eb   (F minor seventh - second inversion)
D, G, B, F      (G dominant seventh - second inversion)
Eb, B, C, G    (C minor major seventh - first inversion)
imaj7, iv7, V7, imaj7 progression.

Eb, B, G, C     (C minor major seventh - first inversion)
F, C, Eb, Ab    (F minor seventh)
F, D, G, B       (G dominant - third inversion)
G, Eb, B, C     (C minor seventh - second inversion)
imaj7, iv7, V7, imaj7 progression.

C, G, B, Eb   (C minor major seventh)
D, G, B, F     (G dominant seventh - second inversion)
Eb, B, C, G   (C minor major seventh - first inversion)
F, B, D, G     (G dominant seventh - third inversion)
G, C, Eb, B   (C minor major seventh - second inversion)
imaj7, V7, imaj7, V7, imaj7 progression.

Eb, B, C, G    (C minor major seventh - first inversion)
F, B, D, G      (G dominant seventh - third inversion)
Ab, C, Eb, G  (Ab major seventh)
Ab, Eb, F, C   (F minor seventh - first inversion)
imaj7, V7, VImaj7, iv7,  progression.

F, Ab, C, Eb    (F minor seventh)
Ab, C, Eb, G    (Ab major seventh)
Ab, D, F, C,     (D minor seventh flat fifth - second inversion)
B, F, G, D        (G dominant seventh - first inversion)
C, G, B, Eb      (C minor major seventh - first inversion)
iv7, VImaj7, iim7b5, V7, imaj7  progression.

C, Eb, G, B    (C minor major seventh)
C, F, Ab, Eb   (F minor seventh - second inversion)
D, Ab, C, F    (D minor seventh flat fifth)
F, B, D, G      (G dominant seventh - third inversion)
G, D, Eb, B    (Eb major seventh augmented - first inversion)
G, Eb, Ab, C  (Ab major seventh - third inversion)
Ab, C, F, Eb   (F minor seventh - first inversion)
C, Eb, G, B     (C minor major seventh)
i maj7, iv7, ii7b5, V7, IIImaj7+, VImaj7, iv7, imaj7 progression.

C, G, B, Eb     (C minor major seventh)
Eb, Ab, C, G   (Ab major seventh - second inversion)
F, C, D, Ab     (D minor seventh flat fifth - first inversion)
Ab, D, F, B     (B diminished seventh flat fifth - third inversion)
B, D, G, Eb     (E major seventh augmented - second inversion)
C, Eb, B, G     (C minor major seventh)
Eb, F, C, Ab    (F minor seventh fourth - first inversion)
F, C, D, Ab      (D minor seventh flat fifth - first inversion)
G, D, F, B        (G dominant seventh)
C, E, G, B        (C minor)
imaj7, VImaj7, ii7b5, viio7, III7+, imaj7, iv7, iim7b5, V7, i  progression.


Now transpose these to each position (register) of your instrument, then to all 15 keys.
