That pattern looks like it would use a "PILE" of squares. Good choice.
639, to be exact! I didn't use a pattern so there was no pattern to adjust... Just sewed 9 candies together and measured to see that they were 6.5" blocks. So I made all the HSTs and V blocks 6.5" also and everything came out fine.
I got it put together the other day... all I bought was the red calico which was a Keepsake Calico from JoAnn's. I knew it was going to work the minute I saw it. This is a BIG bed quilt. Full size, if not queen.

I forgot to hold my phone horizontally, so the photos loaded sideways. QB always turns vertical photos sideways.
And I don't remember if I shared this one with y'all... made from a picture on Pinterest. It's a lap quilt size and will be donated.

So you see I really AM trying to use up my squares. But I could make these two quilts ten times and not use all I have! Every time I cut up scraps, I end up with a new stack of them. They are relentless.
