Default hand peicing 9 patch and measurements for cutting

i have my plan for my first quilt.which will be a 9 patch, and as my topic implies i will be doing it all by hand piecing them together.i will be hand quilting it too.
my finished quilt will be a queen size.
i know most you quilters reading this, are saying right now is "is she nuts,that's going to take forever"
that's okay i like things that take time and heart to finish.makes the finished product feel all that much better IMO
anyways i am slightly confused at what size i should be cutting the patches for my blocks.
e.g cutting size including 1/4"seam allowance,so when i sew them together,they are proper sz for complete block?

and yes, i am complete newb,so any help is greatly appreciated
or if you have any websites,vids etc suggestions, that helps my above prob,that's welcome as well.
