I believe I found this pattern many years ago in Family Circle magazine. Think I still have those pages. Probably one of the first quilts I made, so it had to be easy! Good luck with what ever you do.
I made the same quilt in the late 1970's. The article was by Marti Michell and that was the start of following her designs! My recommendation would be to allow extra seam allowance which can be trimmed back after sewing the front side seams together. Although the quilting lines show on the reverse side, there is nothing on the front (top) of the quilt to indicate QAYG. Good luck! :-)
