    Can someone tell me or refer me to a website that has this information:
    I need to know how many 6.5" squares it takes to make a queen size quilt top? Please PM me. I'm not sure how this board works when you ask a question.
    Thanks so much Coco :O)

    queen mattress runs 60x80 inches.
    10 blocks across and 14 down would cover the mattress.
    that alone would be 140 six inch blocks. then you need overhang, in more blocks or borders. which ever you prefer. at least 14 inches. lots of blocks to make at only six inches.
