Probably the most important lesson I learned on the small quilts was to be precise on my cutting and piecing. I was surprised how a very small variance quickly adds up with multiple blocks. Be as accurate as you possibly can and you will be able to make a beautiful queen size that you'll be proud of.
Keep us posted on your progress.

It was what Hubs wanted, and at our house we have a go big or go home policy. He does auto interiors and his first one at 19 yrs old was on a 65 impala and was done in white tweed on an early 60's singer sewing machine. Oh yeah he was doing mechanic work at the time( Grease+white tweed are not a good combo). The car was a featured in a National car magazine. Also I will be putting sashing between the rows so I shouldn't have to many seams to match( I hope). Does anyone have any tips for putting this quilt together. Thanks again
