That makes a LOT of sense Krista! I should have posted a picture so you could see what Ive done so far. I need it to fit a queen size bed and while its long enough its not quite wide enough. In the pattern Im semi following it has 6" inch squares around the entire quilt with 4 confederate flag blocks on each corner but my quilt is a little different in size and design so I was having troube figuring out what size to make the blocks. I got the pattern from Windham Fabrics on line, Dixie 1861-1865 but I had both panels and used them instead of just one panel.
