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.

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.
