I'm assuming, since you already know that the squares are 8 inches, that you're really asking for measurements for the patches that make up the block?
That's actually difficult to do, because of the angles. We could tell you that this patch is 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches, and that patch is 8.125 inches by 2.125 inches, but you need to get the angles correct or it will be a wonky block and won't join nicely with it's neighbors.
Your best bet is to find a free pattern on the internet. Quilter's Cache has a free Hunter's Star block pattern, but it's for a 12" block. I'm sure if you hunted a little you will find an 8" finished block pattern. Good luck!
