Default Adding borders, how much extra should I plan?

I've just finished a quilt top for my queen bed and have my borders all figured out. But I know it'll shrink a bit after washing and the quilting will also take the dimensions down. I will be FMQing myself, fairly densely. Fabric has been prewashed. Are there any "rules"? I don't want it too big. Right now, I have 8 extra inches in the width and 6 extra in the length. Is this enough? Too much? This is finished size before FMQ and final wash.
