Default Simple blue patchwork quilt

I just finished the top of a simple patchwork quilt. I made this as a "break" after a harder quilt. What has surprised me is that I like this quilt as much as the complicated one I just finished. Go figure.

My quilt inspector, Hot Rod, sort of looks like he is taking credit for the quilt though.

The pattern is Double Slice Layer Cake from Missouri Star. It takes no time to make. Jenny starts with a layer cake, but I just cut out 10 inch squares of different fabrics. Thirty ten inch squares plus the two borders (inner 2 inches and outer 5 1/2 inches) ended up making a quilt that is 60" x 69". The video uses 40 squares I think, but I am not sure what size it ends up making.

Here is the site for the pattern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxC-0T5lXw4
