I think it's a bunch of Y seams too. No seams in the big blocks as far as I can tell, so it's not a D9P or a strip block.
I laid a tile floor in this pattern once but this would be way too many Y seams for me to make into a quilt!

The Xanadu quilt looks similar to the original one posted, but the original one does not appear to have any seams in the large blocks. The Xanadu quilt appears to be 2 2-1/2*4-1/2" blocks pieced together to create the illusion of being one single 4" finished block. This could easily be done by cutting a jelly roll into pieces.
The other possibility for the original quilt is that it was done using English Paper Piecing with 2" and 4" paper squares. Since the original quilt does not seem to have more than one solid piece creating the large block, I would bet that it was made using EPP.

I spent about an hour playing with squares trying to come up with a consistent way to join the blocks just using partial seams (no Y's). No dice. Maybe just go with the Xanadu idea and slice the large blocks into 4. If the fabric is busy, the seams won't be that noticeable.
