Default New and need help with block size

Hello! Im so glad I stumbled across this forum! I am a beginning quilter and am making a quilt for my daughter. Its not my first one but first with different eize blocks. My plan is to make the quilt with 3 different fabrics and id like it slightly larger than a regularly twin size quilt. So by my math it will come out to 14 12x12 squares of eqch fabric. But id like to do the squares in different sizes using multiples of 3. So i was wondering what size squares you would use? I wqs thinking of doing a 24x24 block, 12x24 rectangles, 12x12 blocks and some 6x6 blocks in each fabric. Would the 24x24 block be too big for a twin size quilt? There would be 3 of those size and then the other sizes. I dont want to go any smaller than 6 inchs and i dont have a ton of money to buy more quilting squares. Suggestions and input greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
