Lovely quilt! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Yes, that's right - you join 4 strips alternating light & dark, then cut across the strips at 8ins, givin 8in squares, then across the diagonals. You can then mix how you want to give the finished 16in blocks. The pieced border is from the remainders of the strips, joined together.
And yes, the tricolour of France is blue, white and red!
