I would like to make it into a full size quilt and as you can tell this will not do. How to turn it into a full size quilt.

Here it is I have only sewn one row together and would like to figure this out before advancing any further.
You've not included enough information. 9 horizontal rows of 7 would indeed be enough if the blocks are big enough. What do you want for a finished size (IN INCHES) not simply "full". How much border do you want? How much fall do you want?

Sewing blocks into strips is basic piecing. How else would you sew pieces together?
