I'm back! I would certainly count how many pieces I need that have the same color with the white, and sew strips together of the 3.5 and 6.5 for as long as I need to cut all of these at one time. For instance: a small yellow square and a white 3.5 by 6.5 strip are used in Blocks A, B, and R. So you would need a strip of light yellow which is 3.5 times three, or 10.5 inches. (I would cut it 11 inches.) Sew to a 6.5 inch strip of white. You don't need to cut off the white just yet. Press and cut three strip 3.5 inches wide.
You will need 10 of the Light pink and white strips, so you need a strip at least 35 inches of the 3.5 light pink and 6.5 white. Sew them together, and then cut the 10 strips 3.5 inches wide. The other 3.5 X 6.5 white strip in each block goes with the large square, and that one goes up and down, so be sure to mark which one you are using. I would draw a line through each two-piece in the picture to make it less confusing. Then sew a 3.5 strip of white to a 6.5 strip of dark pink, and cut the 6.5 sub strips. You need 11 of these. 6.5 x 11 is 71.5 inches. Repeat with other colors.
This would speed up the cutting and sewing. Then you lay them out somewhere as they will be on the quilt before you sew any more together. The picture will be your guide.
Happy speedy quilting.

Reason: I want to delete post. It won't work unless you use all the same colors, not different prints as in the picture.
