I made this a couple of years ago using her instructions from her book. The squares really are small but I used up a bunch of fat quarters and made it scrappy and it turned out beautiful. It is a King size but I don't remember how many squares I made, a bunch I do remember that. My sister came to visit from Texas and I had just finished it and put it on our bed. She talked about how pretty it was all week so when they got ready to leave I pulled it off my bed with the pillow cases and gave it to her to take home. She loved it and still does. It is appreciated so thats what is important to me. Make it like the pattern if you can and you will love it too.
