Start by 2" strips of your color fabrics and 1" strips of black. Then cut 5" center squares.
Sew the black 1" and 2" strips together to make strip sets. Cut the first (inner strip set) to 6-3/4" - you need four for each block. You will have a partial seam on the first strip you sew to the center block. Then rotate around the block until you can finish the partial seam.
Cut the second (outer strip set) to 9" and sew around the block as before. You end up with a 12-1/2" finished block.
Sashing looks to be about 3" or 4" finished.
