Billi, your strips are so wide that you could cut them into 7 6" squares each. If you wanted to slice them lengthwise, this is a really cute pattern for strips.... with a square in the center for a fussy cut character or something:

I have a bunch of novelty strips that I'm going to use to make an I Spy quilt with this pattern. I love it.
