Squares for a Twin Bed 6 Months, 1 Week ago Karma: 0  
Hello
I am making a rag quilt for a twin bed and 1/2" seam allowance. I cut the squares 10". Should I make the seam allowance bigger? How many squares do I make? Is there a chart to go by? How many do you make for a couple or queen bed? Thank you B.

Hi again,

1/2" seam allowance is adequate. Your 10" block will then finish at 9". To figure out how many blocks for your quilt top, you measure your length plus your width x 2 then divide by size of block - in other words, if your width is 36" x length of top at say 36" would equal 72 x 2 = 144 divided by 9 = 16 blocks.

Hope that helps.

Sounds complicated but works ot exactly the same as would do it. Remember to sew all around the outside before you clip the outside fringe.

I can't really add anything but I do it a little different. I do my division for width and length in two problems and then I know how many down and how many across. Same answer just in a different method. LOL

A single bed is approx 72x 90. If you have cut your squares 10 inches and are using 1/2 inch seam allowance, that means your squares will be 9 inch finished.
So I would say you need 10 squares length and 8 across or 80 squares total.
you would have 10 blocks down finished size 9 inches so total length 90 inches, and 8 across finished size 9 inches makes 72 inches. You will of course have and extra inch because of no seam on the outside round, so finished size should measure 73 x 91.
