Follow up...hope I have this right
Here is my draft sketch. Figure w each square at 4.5 inches this sketch will make a 72" x 72" square quilt.
qty (36 ) nine patch, 12 inch blocks
108 [/] 2 pc squares 4.5" each
216 [ ] plain squares 4.5" each

I plan to start with four nine patch blocks in the center and build from there.

Again, congratulations on your beautiful quilt.
