You can go somewhere inbetween:
7" x 100%
8" x 1.14%
9" x 1.28%
10" x 1.42%
11" x 1.57%
12" x 1.71%

At a rough calculation, 8 in blocks will give you a quilt about 73in square, and 9in blocks about 81in square. That will depend a little bit on how wide you have your narrow borders. I calculated on 1.5in wide for each of them. And allowing for your wide border to be the same size as your blocks.
