A standard twin mattress measures 39 inches wide and 76 inches long. If you are making a quilt to fit this mattress, you will want to have at least six additional inches on each side of the quilt to cover the sides of the mattress. Those dimensions would then be 51 inches wide and 88 inches long. As 51 cannot be evenly divided by 4, the width dimension needs to be increased to 52 inches. To achieve a quilt 52 inches wide by 88 inches long, each row will contain 13 four inch squares. You will need to make 22 rows.

ACK ! 120 divided by 4.5 ( allowing for quarter inch seams ) = 26 blocks wide. 124 divided by 4.5 ( allowing for quarter inch seams ) -= 27 blocks deep. ( These are rounded numbers, since 27 blocks wide, is actually 26.66666 and 27.5555 blocks. ) For a total of 702 blocks. If you prefer, make 24 blocks wide and 26 blocks deep, and make up the difference in finished size with your border. 624 blocks.

What is a friendship quilt?
A friendship quilt is usually one where there are many contributors. Friends will get together and each make/sew a block of their own. Oftentimes they are signed by the maker. All of the blocks are of the same size although they may have a pattern of some sort within the block. Then the blocks are all sewn together to make the quilt.
