I did 6 1/2 inch squares, made a rag quilt with fleece in between and flannel at the back. It is big enough to lay over the top (only) of our QS bed. My husband loves heavy quilts. Ours is heavy, but can fit in our big toploader machine. Snipping the edges for the rag effect took awhile. Used spring loaded Fiskars snips. Quilt is in constant use (except summer) and is going strong (made in 2009). I am keen to make a circle quilt one day. Though most womens jeans these days have elastane (which is not good for quilting).
