FINISHING YOUR QUILT - MATERIALS REFERENCE
BLOCK GUIDE FOR QUILTS - HOW MANY BLOCKS DO I NEED?
We have created this chart as a reference only. These are measurements based on “average” quilt sizes,
you can make your quilt whatever size you prefer, just be sure to account for block size variance and seam
allowance.
We suggest test sewing a few blocks together for a more accurate measurement. Take your desired finish
quilt size and divide by your finished block measurement. Then, round up this number to the closest whole
number. This will give you the number of blocks you need to achieve your desired finished size. These
measurements were taken after the blocks were embroidered and sewn together using a 1/2” seam allowance.
Example: 45”/7.375” = 6.1 or 6 Blocks
6 columns by 6 rows will result in a ~ 45” x 45” crib quilt.
