Just a thought. You are looking for the decorative Barn hanging for your wedding, AND you want it to be a bed quilt afterwards.
Why not make the large block square as the width of your mattress and put on a temporary binding. Then, after using it as a hanging, use the quilt as you go method to add on the overhang from the sides, top and bottom of a bed quilt.
Two uses for the center block, each suited for its purpose.

(instead of 25" - math/cutting is easier w/o half inches at this size, plus you're new - I love your avatar quilt - but you don't need the added hassle of cutting bigger than your rulers)
Perhaps making the pattern fit the top of the bed, and then doing something for the sides hanging down. A queen size mattress top measures 60" x 80" across the top, so you're talking a 20" overhang on the sides.
Just mentioning it. And congratulations.
