Hi Diane, I have an octagonal block pillow from Holly Van Sciver that I love ( http://www.vansciverbobbinlace.com/pillow.html), but the square blocks are only 6 3/4". It's as big a pillow as I'm comfortable with (and I have a pillow slightly over 24" so I use big ones. This pillow uses a row of wooden wedges on two of the sides to snug the blocks up against one another, and it works beautifully.
I think to get bigger blocks you are going to have to make one of blocks only in one direction so they can be wider without the overall pillow being too large to use. That, or get a roller pillow with a wide cylinder--Holly doesn't say the width of the cylinder on the roller pillow on that same page, but if the pillow is 16 1/2" wide, then it looks like the roller is at least 8" wide, for example.
