    Hi!
    I am making a queen size quilt, 90 by 108 and I am using 9 1/2 squares of fabric. This will sound really stupid, but I can't figure out how many I need. I am guessing 120, but I don't want to do too little or too many.
    They will finish out at 9 inches.

    I think you're right. You will have a 10 x 12 block layout...

    :)

    90" divided by 9" (finished size) = 10
    108" divided by 9" = 12
    10 x 12 = 120

    Perfect!

    Are you using and sashing between the squares because that will change things.
