I made this for my son in Washington. It's simple 6 1/2" squares surrounded by 2 1/2" borders and then 12 1/2"x 2 1/2" strip center surrounded again by 2 1/2" border. Easy as can be.
Backed in flannel. He says it keeps him nice and warm and he doesn't need that "extra" blanket.
I really like the looks of this quilt and it is great for a boy. If you happen to know what the school colors are you might incorporate that into the quilt scheme.
