The block will be 12" finished. They are qst, but the design is hst. Eggnog brain today. I just cut 6.5 squares, and marked them and now will sew them. I thought my 6 1/2" was correct, but for some reason the 7/8" rule didn't work in my brain.

Each 1/4 section of the 12-1/2" block (unfinished size) would be 6-1/2"x6-1/2". So each QST would be this measurement before sewing into the quilt block.
If the 12-1/2" you have given is for the finished block (after it's sewn into the quilt) you would need each QST to be 6.75"square.
Same measurements if you are using HSTs instead of the QSTs
