Arkansas crossroads quilt

I've made a some progress with my Liberty Crossroads quilt this past week. I was aiming for nine blocks before we head away on our holiday... ... but miscounted somewhere along the line and have made ten blocks. I thought that a 5 x 5 configuration should work well but it only covers the top of the king bed (92.5" square).

Lori from Bee in my Bonnet had a tutorial for her Scrappy Cross Roads Block on Instagram, you can read about it on her blog here.

Main - using HST in an Arkansas Crossroads quilt - In the tidying up of my sewing room, I came across a bag of 2 1/2 HST from the Friendship triangle exchange about 6 years ago.....I know. I am guessing there may be anywhere from 500 to 700 of them. Looking for a pattern to use them and in reading the posts today, I
