Buckeye Rose, that is a good idea to make the quilt larger and use the size blocks that will do just that. I will make a note on the printed pattern so when I do make it I can have another option for size. If I make one it would more than likely be made for a charity quilt, I have some RWB fabrics and can make a military quilt or two if it goes together quickly.
Thank you all for the encouraging input and am waiting for the siding to be delivered. I know I have the right to question his 'new' costs. It will cost me the legal fees but will be saving a ton of money in the end, being alone and on monthly income only, must watch the $$.
