the easiest way is to just make more blocks to bring it up to the size you need. The other way is to do some math and make the current blocks large enough to come up to the king size you want....I'd go for adding more blocks!

Linda this is a square quilt, you are wanting to make a rectangular quilt. You will need to add 26" to the width and 40" to the length.
The blocks are 10&1/2 (10" finished), so you can add 4 blocks to the length and it will measure 112"x82".
The prob is getting the width to 98 unless you can divide the blocks.
I would make the quilt 112"x112", it would be much easier.
