I am sooo happy to read this! I am making my 7 year old grandson a quilt using fabric with lots of transportation prints. I plan on using 10 1/2 squares alternating with blocks made from 4 1/2 sq & 2 1/2 sashing. I was worried that the 10 1/2 squares would be too large but he will want to see his trucks & planes not Grandma's piecing, KWIM? There is plenty of piecing with sashing & cornerstones but those big squares...well, that's way bigger than I have ever cut to use whole, lol.
