The 11x11 grid can be made this easily..
<sscce>
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

class LargeGrid {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      JPanel p = new JPanel( new GridLayout(11,0) );
      for (int ii=0; ii<(11*11); ii++) {
         p.add( new JButton("" + (ii+1)) );
      }
      JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, p);
   }
}
</sscce>
