Wow, thank you all. Great suggestions.
KalamaQuilts, I had not thought of the top in 3 pieces. I will remember that one to try sometime since I have already sewn the 10"squares.
I also was thinking of leaving out the batting. I know it's for a camper where they may be out where it is cold, but I don't think I could get that much thickness done very well with this size quilt.
Toverly, that is a good idea on quilting with thread in each square too. It would make the texture so much more interesting.
Tartan, I don't plan on using liquid basting. I have lung issues and worry about breathing it in. How would you baste? Maybe using some big stitch throughout.
