I have made 12'' squares. Well after sewn together... The d9p. How many squares across and how many down?? Would like it to fit a full or queen size bed. And maybe two borders around the out side.

And also is stitch in the ditch just that I'm going to stitch where any two pecies come together Right in the middle of them??? Ooooohhhhhh!!! Please help. Thanks

Hi Stacey

According to this site.....

http://www.carolina-quilts.com/site/472586/page/99754

a full size quilt should be 84 x 84...that allows for top, bottom and side drop.

The number of blocks you'll need will depend on the width of your border(s).

Hope this helps some.....

Stacey, memorize this website address and refer to it often - lots of helpful sizing aids here. Play around with all the buttons, too!!

Here is a link to bed quilt and bedspread sizes. You just need to figure how many blocks you need to meet the desired measurements. For example, full size bed quilt is 80x88 according to this site. 6 blocks across would be 72 inches. You could add 4 inches or so for a border to make the 80 inches. The site that Judy gave you are other measurements that people sometime use. I prefer rectangle quilts over square quilts so I use the 80x88. Hope this helps.
