Thanks Sue! I used this tut (because I was using 2" squares for the 16 patches):

It really looks luscious with her navy minky backing, huh? I tried minky once in a baby blanket, too much difficulty for me and my little DSM to manage much quilting. I'd gotten a light buttery yellow flannel to back mine with but you can see a ghost of it though the white on white dot of the X patches/sides, so still debating how I'll finish it.
I did get the Troll baby blanket trimmed and rainbow striped binding cut but then the OSU/Mich. game started so I'm taking football break. lol
