If you look at the quilt, all the sky/border fabrics are solid which blends this seam in.
The dimensions I've quoted are finished dimensions. You would cut the square 6.5", the FG is 3.5 X 6.5 raw and the side strips would be cut 2X9. Should be able to figure out the smaller ones in the same way .
Thanks for posting this but wouldn't the cut size of the side strips be 2 x 9.5 ? By the way, I loved your term "raw" to describe the size of the flying geese when they have been squared up ready to sew into the block. I always called them "resized" but I like your term much better.
