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.

You can make it out of either paper or cloth. Paper squares can be glued to a long strip of butcher paper, or taped together to make a big quilt, and cloth squares can actually be sewn into a real quilt.
The squares for this quilt will need to be 8 1/2 inches, that includes the 1/4 inch seam allowance for stitching them together. The finished blocks will be 8 inches square.
Standard King size quilt (120" x 128") = 144 10inch blocks. That does not include any sashing or borders. (Roughly 12 squares across, 12 squares down. Though I'd expand to 13 squares down for aesthetic reasons.)
how did you get 64
To make a knot a quilt, you will first have to cut out your quilt squares. To do this make a template. Your template should have evenly spaced slashes all around the square. Use the template to cut out your fabric squares, include the slashes. You simply tie knots by attaching one quilt square to the next by knotting the cut pieces of fabric to one another.
A queen size quilt is supposed to be 90" X 90". If you cheat just a bit, you can make it 88" X 88". That is 11 squares in length and 11 squares in width. 11 X 11 is 121 - the number of squares you will need.
A quilt rack. Robinsons Wood Crafts site has a few. If you would like to display your quilt on a wall, take a look at the HangItDangIt quilt hanger. Their product is is really easy to use and it has a lot of advantages over other methods. Of course there are many ways to hang a quilt, what is best is a matter of opinion.
5/12 of the squares, which is 4+1/12.
It will have 16 on each side
You can tape a large piece of flannel to the wall and arrange your blocks on the flannel. 100% cotton quilt squares hold quite nicely to flannel - no need to pin and easy to rearrange.
This will depend on the size of blocks you wish to make. A full quilt measures 78" x 87" (which includes 12" to the left, right and bottom of the quilt so that it drapes over the bed and lays nicely). If you use 12" x12" blocks you will need 42 blocks plus some binding to finish out the edges. If you use 6" x 6" blocks you will need 182 blocks plus some binding to finish out the edges.
