You failed to mention what manner of walls these were going to be. Un-mortored joints would lead me to assume this a retaining wall. In that use the concept sounds good. If this the case, may I make a couple/three suggestions. One, be sure to include tie-backs in your construction to support the wall to backfill's preasure. Two, plan some horizontal rebar tocare fill load between tie-backs. Third, use summer manufactured blocks to avoid future seasons unsightly calcioum cloride efflcience. Oh, If this is a retaining wall, you may want to lean it back a-bit to ease vertical preasures against future settling and frosts.
Have fun.
