I agree with Krisb - what I would add is that the setting triangles will be a square cut twice on the diagonals and the four corners are a squares cut on one diagonal. That will give you outside edges that are on grain and not on the bias which will reduce stretchiness.
This one is 89x101. I did up quickly in EQ for you. Using 4.5" finished squares, there are 14 brown squares across and 16 rows of brown down. Ignoring the setting and corner triangles there are 13 tan squares across and 15 rows of tan squares. That is 419 squares total of brown and tan squares without considering the outside triangles. Hope this helps.
