It would depend on the size of your borders and if you are using any sashing. If the answer is none, then looks like you are on the right track! (It's 4:00 AM here so my brain isn't functioning well, yet.)

Drawing the blocks out on paper really helps with doing the math. It helps when deciding how to use sashing & borders. Graph paper is even better.
You can even lay your 10" blocks out on the bed - 1 row across & 1 row up & down - to see how many you want to use. (overlap the edges to account for 1/4" seam allowances) Use straight pins to hold them in place when deciding the overhang.
