Thanks, all! Yes, of course, they can turn the cot sideways, good thinking!!
The squares are 2 inch finished. It was pretty easy, just squares and a few HST's, and I was working from good instructions, so it was pretty much blue peter sewing.
And no, Iminei, I've never thought of doing anything like that! And I don't want to even think about thinking about it!
Y'all have fun sewing while I'm off on holiday!
