I hope that makes sense? https://www.shopfonsandporter.com/product/black-arrow-digital-pattern/shop-quilty/?template=sq
I see what you're saying. I'm including an EQ7 diagram of the block to see if I understand how it goes together. The grey area is the black in the pattern.
I think you'll still be fine cutting the strips at 6 1/2" and then cutting them diagonally once. When you sew them to the other half of the block, there will be a litte extra overhang but just align the long center seam with the other half of the block and leave that little extra at each end. You'll then trim your block to the correct size. Let me know if you want me to try and draw a little diagram of how to line of the two halves of the block.
