I think some of the calculations being used might be a little off. If the cuts are truly 2 yards you could realistically only get 24 blocks per cut if the unfinished size is 10.5. (4 X 6) That would give you a total of 98 blocks. A setting of 9X11 would need 99 blocks. Cutting 24 10.5" blocks from a 2 yard length would leave an excess of 9" of fabric. If you didn't mind a few extra seams, you could piece a couple of blocks to get the needed count to 99 blocks. In any case to get a king size quilt of 100x120 you'd find 2 more yards of a fabric that coordinates with all your blocks and put on a 5.5" or 6" border. I think I calculated that you'd need 11 strip cuts for the border of a quilt that size.
Here's what I was thinking of. It takes 25 green blocks, 25 red blocks, 25 blue and 24 yellow.

Has the fabric she gave you been pre-washed. If not, count on some shrinkage, which will make you even more short.

You might consider doing "Quilt as you go." it would be an easy one for this project.

Measurements are too, too tight for comfort. I also think you need a fifth color for better balance. That would still leave you with no borders or binding. Make a graph paper layout and show the lady before embarking on this project.
