This is a link to the quilt I used as an inspiration but I didn't like their colors or the way it was put together.
It would be beautiful in batiks. When you get your's done, be sure and post it, I'd love to see it in other colors.
I just made up my own by looking at the picture. I wanted mine much bigger. The blocks in mine are 16 1/2", the strips are 2"cuts of each color x width. It takes two strips to make one full frame. The sq in the center is 3 1/2", the white strips are 3 1/2" x 7 1/2". The colored strips once sewn and pressed are 3 1/2 x 6 1/2 and 12 1/2. I had to keep the block above and the previous block on my design wall and lay out the block I was working on to match them. Once I got the block pieced I squared it up to 16 1/2". For me, and even though I hate it, pinning was a MUST when I sewed the blocks to each other. Since I didn't know how many colored strips to start out with, I cut way more than I needed. That's why it has that pieced border. LOL! It wasn't planned in the beginning, it just ended up that way. Every piece of it was from my stash and I still have enough strips to do a Rail Fence or some other quilt that starts out with strips. It's certainly not as easy as some of the quilts I've done but it was fun. Once I started I couldn't stop. I had it done in 10 or 11 days and one huge back ache.
