Copy away. I don't mind sharing when asked! As a matter of fact, I am glad to share.
I used 2 1/2 inch wof strips of the colored fabric and sewed them to 2 1/2 inch wof black strips. I then cut them into 6 1/2 inch long strips. I sewed the black to the colored and then alternated the strips. I sewed a 2 1/2 wide black border around the quilt. Mine grew to 96 by 116. You can make yours as wide and long as you decide by adding/substracting 6 1/2 inch blocks to each strip and adding/subtracting strips to the width of the quilt.
Sew it up with pleasure!
Then post a picture and let us see how it turns out. Hope your son will enjoy it.
