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.
