12 inch blocks. Help needed to figure out how many for King
Hello friends,
Doing the math is such a problem for me.
I'm making a Log Cabin for our King bed. The blocks are 12 inches and they are coming out nicely. I've made 27 so far but have no clue how many I need for my bed.
I keep putting them on the bed to see how much progress I'm making and the kittens pounce the minute they see me doing it
Any ideas? Good thing I wasn't a Math major, haha

Although there are some guideline sizes for bed quilts, they can vary widely:
How long a drop do you want? Just cover the bed? down to a dust ruffle (add at least 14" to 3 sides) to the floor (add at least 20" to three sides), pillow tuck? (add at least 24" to top). If you can give us an idea of what you are aiming for, we can give you a good idea. BTW, I was a math major. It always doesn't help!

10 blocks across and 10 down would give you 120" 9 blocks down and 9 across would give you 108.. (I
m assuming you mean 12" finished). So either 100 blocks or 91 blocks. Maybe do the 9 x 9 and a border?

In the US, a king bed is either 76x80 (standard king) or 72x84 (California king). The mattress can be anywhere from 5 to 20 inches deep, and a box spring can add to that, so a 10-inch drop can be too little, depending on the bed and how much of the mattress and box spring you want to cover. It would be best to get the precise measurements of the mattress and box spring, also whether there is a footboard, etc.
