The total length would be nearly 30". If I have miscalculated, please let me know.

For a finished 10" block, I am playing around with strips just under 2" each. I'm still playing with this and tend to overthink the process. I'm giving up tonight and will look at it again tomorrow or the next day, depending upon my schedule.
Just graphed this.....2 inch strips will give you a 12 inch finished square.
