Quilting query

I am about to make a quilt that is 86" x 86" using 5" squares. Because I am using a design that will cause me to lose in seam allowance more than a quarter inch all round, I am basing my requirements on a 4" square. I have calculated that I will need 12 packs of 42 squares each to be in the safe side.

Could some much more experienced quilter tell me if that sounds reasonable please?

This is what it was called on Amazon
Snap on 1-4 (Quarter Inch) Quilting /Patchwork Foot with Edge Guide for low shank domestic sewing machine by 60°®

I bought it when I bought a book called the Quilter's Bible - an absolute treasure. The reviews didn't lie! My sewing machine is a fairly basic Singer, about 5 years old and the foot is easy to 'snap on'. I'd put the book in my 'basket' and the foot popped up as a recommended buy. Worth every penny.
Happy sewing. smile
