We are providing quilters with these handy charts of some of the more popular block sizes in hopes that it will provide quidance and the information necessary to purchase or make the correct number of blocks. There are so many beautiful block kits available on Ebay today but many quilters are uncertain of how many blocks they will need to purchase in order to make their quilt.
The number of blocks in our chart below are based on the mattress size only.
Add extra blocks or borders for drop at sides of mattress. Happy Quilting!

CRIB size = 30" x 40"
12 Ten Inch Blocks Needed
Layout = 3 x 4

TWIN size = 40" x 80"
32 Ten Inch Blocks Needed
Layout = 4 x 8

FULL Size = 60" x 80"
48 Ten Inch Blocks Needed
Layout = 6 x 8

QUEEN Size = 60" x 80"
48 Ten Inch Blocks Needed
Layout = 6 x 8

KING Size = 80" x 80"
64 Ten Inch Blocks Needed
Layout = 8 x 8

Are the numbers correct for the Full and Queen size quilts? I was wondering because they are the same for the 10 inch blocks.

No way are those good for quilt sizes, none of them. They have virtually no drop whatsoever, let alone any tuck in if you want a quilt instead of a bedcover.
Mattress sizes are:
crib 28x52
twin 39x75
full 54x75
queen 60x80
king 76x80
cal king 72x84
