I see this as a very simple two block quilt. The blocks are smallish, simple and you repeat them as many time as you want to make the size quilt you want.
If you make the squares in the 8 patch block finish at 2", the cut strips will be 2.5" wide. This will give you an 8" (finished in the quilt) block.
If you cut the rectangles for the second block @ 4.5" x 8.5", you will have an 8" (finished in the quilt) block.
10 blocks across and 12 blocks long will give you an 80" x 96" quilt before/without borders.
Made this way, piecing this quilt can be rather brainless, repetitive, and done while watching TV with your hubs.
