There are some great designs here!
I would enlarge the blocks to a manageable size - then I would paste the needed pieces on to template plastic, add seam allowances to the pieces, and then cut out the pattern/template from the plastic.
It was a great exercise to see how one pattern could morph into another - or how similar some of them are - a line added here - a line taken out there - - -
