But remember...if you are doing squares on both the front and the back, you will need double the amount of squares! Granted...it is late in the evening and my math might be fuzzy but I think the above nbr would need to be doubled. Or you would need to do a solid back (I had a pattern like that once and I really didn't care for it.) But, it would be doable.
