mpeters-
I made up the pattern as I went along. The squares are 8 1/2", the sashing is 2 1/2". The blocks are scraps sewn together- they call them crumb blocks. They alternate with a 4 patch and solid and another solid and 4 patch, amking a big 4 patch (make sense?) The carpenter's wheel came from quilter's cache (free pattern site). The border is 5 1/2" wide, another leftover from another project.
It fits a queen size bed, mine is a full size.
Love your tag line- we have his/hers and ours. All together 7. We have 6 on their own, 1 home, in college. 2 military SIL- Marine and Air Force. And finally- 3 grands- 2 boys and 1 girl. Only 1 boy is local but I miss the other 2!
