Thank you all! The pattern calls for 6 blocks in a row (8 rows) but I'm seriously thinking about just doing five in a row and 7 rows.One reason is she asked for quilts the girls could take in the car with them and another is I'm afraid i won't have enough material! I've cut up most of what she sent me already. I think doing the quilts smaller I can just squeeze two from what I have. This boy and my oldest dd were in the same homeschool group for years until we changed groups. They were the same age. Really hard thinking about that!
