You all are so creative! I can tell you are experienced in creating your own blocks from one you've seen. I've not done that before, but maybe it's time that I give it a try. Thanks to the wonderful people who posted the blocks they created in EQ, I think I could make the block fine. It's the interconnecting blocks and making it work with the other blocks that is hard for me to figure out.
Yes, it looks like it is 6 blocks across -- all squares and half square triangles. What I do is take one block at a time and then one row at a time.

To involve less piecing you could do the dark blue strips as
an 8 x 2 and do the corners like you do a flying geese. You could also do the light blue outside piece as a 6 x 2 and do the corners the same. Add a light blue to the end of the strip for the side. Make a 4 inch pinwheel for the center. Of course you would have to add the 1/2 inch for seams. Just a thought as the bigger the pieces are, the better mine comes out without having to match so many seams. I love the pattern but won't be able to try it any time soon.
