A twin size is about 63x85 so with 4.5" finished blocks you would use 14 blocks x 19 blocks for 266 blocks.

For a bed quilt you might consider using a larger block.
If you start with 8" blocks you will end with 9.5" finished blocks doing the sew around method.
66x85 would be 7x9 blocks=63

It will be beautiful!
:-D

Great job on the practice blocks!

Welcome!

:-D

I would say slightly less than 1 1/2; does that work? This formula business is too much for me. I just pick a block, sew it and whatever ends up is what I use. I'll adjust size in the end by adding necessary borders. You guys are getting too complicated to have it be fun anymore! This is supposed to be a fun, fly by the seat of our pants thing, I thought :roll: :lol:
Good point!!! We are in it for the fun of it aren't we. I am going to cut my squares at 8", whatever I end up with is what I get. LOL or I may cut them all at 6". haven't made up my mind. I will know when I get there.

I just love all of you guys and your sense of humour i thought i was the only one that make a square and go by that i have no idea of measurements that's what my dear husband is here for he helps me work out all the measurements borders etc.. :)

I think I will give this a try...bought some fabric on an impulse and have regretted since (ugh!) This is a perfect way to put it to use!
