To make a double quilt, you typically need a quilt that measures around 80 inches by 90 inches. A 7x7 square quilt block measures 7 inches by 7 inches, so you can fit approximately 11 blocks along the 80-inch side (80/7 ≈ 11.43) and about 12 blocks along the 90-inch side (90/7 ≈ 12.86). Therefore, you would need around 11 x 12 = 132 blocks to cover the area of a double quilt. Keep in mind that additional squares may be needed for seam allowances and any desired borders.

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.
