Something you may want to keep in mind when deciding on the block size is the finished size of the small squares in the center of the square-in-square block. With a 6" finished block (a 42x54 quilt) those little squares will be about 1.125". Making 10" blocks will give you a finished quilt roughly 70x90, still manageable for both you and the little guy, but increases the center squares to 1.75".
The yardage as needed for the pattern as drawn using 10" blocks would be roughly 2.875 yards of the black and 4.25 yards of the orange (plus backing and binding, of course). I know you already went shopping, sorry.
I like your pattern. Reminds me of a Brontosaurus or the Loch Ness Monster.

But anyways, we never hit the Hancock's so this info wouldn't have been much use, but it might be good for future reference.
I did like the person who described my pattern like a "tsunami". :)

Oh Flying V ~ what a day!! I am glad to hear that it's not actually your real birthday after all that happened!! That can only be much better right???
Hope you spend the rest of the day doing something creative to get out your frustrations. Like something totally random and unplanned ~ take out your scraps and start sewing them randomly together. Iron them, cut them up again and resew. Continue this process until a)you run out of thread b) you've made a masterpiece or c)it's midnight and you ask yourself "what exactly am I doing anyway and why did I start this craziness! ~ don't forget to post the results!!!!!

And then today....Mom's was angry with everybody all day. Mainly because of my brother! He's been a brat all day! I've been trying to help out all day...cleaned the dishes, dried the clothes, scrubed the stove...none of it matters. Zach does something and she yells at him and then yells at me! Just now he decided to go raid the fridge...after she got done yelling at him she yelled at me. "And you! Stay out of that fridge, too! And if you're not off Internet by 11 I SWEAR to GOD! ...quit your *bleep*ing bawling!" I can't help but cry.......I've been trying to help out and be good, even though I'm still mad and frustrated over yesterday, and I keep getting my ass chewed out. :(
