This may sound silly, but could you use some different fabric to make up a "sample" block before cutting into the "good" stuff? Depending on the size of the block, you could give him a coordinating 1 block throw pillow as a "pre graduation" or Christmas gift. The design is awesome!

I agree that you should figure out how many blocks you would need for the king size quilt and go from there. If you divide all the cutting directions by 4, you should know what you need for an individual block and then you're on your way!

I've made the small version of this and it's not a difficult quilt--in fact I taught a class on how to make it. The key is to keep the strip sets organized by width. If you are making the large (king), all you have to do is multiply all the cutting directions by 4. The king size is just four of the small size stitched together like a four patch.

The borders for this small quilt are 10-1/2". Subtract 20 from whatever measurement you want to make - I make kingsize quilts 108" square - so, in my case, that would be 88" square for the center. Divide that by 16-3/4 (finished block size) and you get 5-1/4. Five blocks square (25 total) would give you a center 83-3/4". With the borders as is, that would give you approximately 104" square. You can add half an inch to each of the three borders and end up with a 107" square quilt. So, by my calculations you need 25 blocks and the pattern calls for 4 blocks. You would need to cut the strips for the blocks as listed in the small size six times for 24 blocks, that leaves one block extra to make strips for.

If I were you, I'd cut the strips for four blocks at a time. Make those four blocks and then back to the cutting table.

The freebie pattern there shows 54 x54

Wouldn't doubling it be a King? 108" x 108"

Doesn't seem that hard with the math. Making that pattern might be though. lol

I bought the kit because the grandson loved the colors in the blue color way. Surprised me, I thought he would like the red. I'm glad I asked before I made it. We're planning on having some of it cut by next week.

Would you prewash the fabric or just press and cut it?
