Changing to 3 1/2" strips would increase the size by 1.5. Strip lengths would increase to 6.5, 9.5 and 12.5". I believe the yardage requirement would increase by 4x.
Changing to 4.5" strips would increase the size by 2x. Strip lengths would increase to 8.5, 12.5, and 16.5"

I'm with Joyce888, though, to increase the size, add another column and row.
If I add to both the bottom & left won't it still be a square. I want it to be rectangular.
