the quilt is nade from two units:
a square and three strips/bars that make a square.
examples: (using 1/4 inch sean allowance)
6-1/2 inch square and three strips cut 2-1/2 x 6-1/2 inches. strip piecing works well for the bars.
finished unit size is 6 x 6.
or
5 inch square and three "bars" cut 5 x 2 inches - finisned unit size is 4-1/2 by 4-1/2
8 x8 square and 3 x 8 bars finish at 7-1/2
9-1/2 square and three 3-1/2 × 9-1/2 bars finish at 9x9

My Warm Wishes has the center bar wider than the side bars, so of they are cut with one color 2x6, another color 2x6 and the center color 3x6. The alternating blocks are 6x6.
Personally I prefer 2.5x7.5, 2.5x7.5, 3.5x7.5 with the alternating blocks 7.5 square.
