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 haven't made it, but it's basically the same block repeated throughout the quilt - just more of them for the king-size quilt.
(which is a lot easier than some of her other patterns with multiple blocks/designs).

Does it say anywhere how many blocks you need for the king size?
**There is only one size sold. Where did you buy the kit from?
Or did they just cut fabric for you?
Looking at the picture, there are 4 blocks for 54" square quilt (incl border).
So I'd guess there at least 16 blocks in the king size.
Maybe even 25" for a 5x5 layout?
Is the widest strip cut 5.5" or 3.5"? I'm thinking 3.5".

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.

My grandson chose the Jinny Beyer kit DaVinci for his graduation quilt. I ordered a king size. The directions were written for the wall hanging. You have to do math calculations to figure out how many strips to cut and fit together. I am so scared to cut into this fabric and make a mistake that I have put off starting the quilt. I need to get it started!!!
Any encouragement, motivation to jump in etc, would be greatly appreciated.
Has anyone made this kit?

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.
