Default Math Calculation HELP !!

My charity church group of quilters received some odd ball strips of batiks. I have this pattern called Regular Joe from the magazine Am. Patchwork & Quilting June 2014. The pattern is for sale on eBay......

My math problem is that the pattern requires 2.25 cut wide strips cut down into 7" length rectangles but most of my strips are 1.5" to 1.75" wide WOF. What length do I cut my narrower strips down to keep the proportion of the quilt intact? Tried going to the designer website but it was down for updates. No way I could send him a message. Any suggestions?? I want to start cutting the strips down during our Monday get together. THANKS !!
