Number of Blocks Needed
I'm no good at math and I'm making a KS quilt for my daughter. The pattern is for a QS. I enlarged the blocks now I need to know how many I need. I'm setting the blocks on point with a 2" sashing. The blocks are 13" finished. TIA for any help.

Just curious...what does KS stand for. Is it Kid Size? I know in your mind that you think you have made your need very clear, however.....It's hard to determine how big a quilt you want based on your comments. Is your daughter a teenager and needs a twin size full bed quilt or perhaps a Full size bed or do you want a smaller lap/throw quilt? If you measured the finished size you want, what would it be? What size borders do you plan to use?
Edited to add: When I have questions like this and the block is a simple one. I make a few and see how big it gets and how quick. Then I can estimate how many how I will need.

I know how big I want it but the on point setting has me confused. The size is 110x106 approximately.

You can't get the size you say you want at those dimensions. I just plugged your dimensions into EQ8. A 5x5 layout is 109.6 inches square before borders. A 4x5 layout is 87.6 inches by 109.6 inches.
For a 5x5 layout, you need 41 blocks. For a 4x5 layout, you need 32.
