Since all I had to work with, for a pattern, was a picture, I used some scraps and did a 2 inch strip, 2 1/2 inch strip and a 3 inch strip, and ended up using the 3 inch strips. Odd, I know, to start with an even inch strip, but it gave me the best look. The strip blocks squared up at 8 inches, and that is what I cut the floral blocks. Also, because 8 inch blocks made the best use of a 42 inch wide floral fabric. Sometimes I go outside the box, to make my quilts. Hope this helps you.
