Is it the tiny SIZE of the quilt block he likes or the look of the pattern as a whole? If it is what the quilt LOOKS like, & not the fact the squares are tiny, perhaps you could just enlarge the squares & re-figure how many you will need for the size quilt you want.
Like some of the others on here, I couldn't ever do those tiny ones either, even when I was younger & not quite as shakey as I am now at 77 :wink:
Good luck w/whatever you decide, & may all your quilts be filled w/love.
