this free pattern says it makes 12" blocks. http://www.quilterscache.com/N/NightandDayBlock.html
the suggested queen size quilt is 90x95. i would probably use 8 blocks by 8 blocks for 96x96

Eleanore Burns book says forty two blocks with a setting of 6 wide by 7 long for a queen size.

I would just use whatever size I would need to make the size you want. I have a tall mattress, I make mine long and wide enough to go a bit past that.
