Thanks carolyn
Actually the brown strips are the same length of the whole block (all pieces together) --
12 1/2 inches. That's the vertical strips that are between each block. Then I measured horizontal width of the whole row of blocks and cut a strip to that measurement to place between each row. When if was all done, I put a border of the same brown around the whole thing. All brown strips were cut 2 inches.

You can make your own measurement for the blocks and make the sashing strips (the brown) match those measurements. It's your quilt -- it can be any size you want it to be.
