Default Enlarging a block with multiple components.

Thanks in advance to all who help. This has defeated me. The pattern I wish to use was published in Quilty, September/October 2018, named Sisters of the Dark. It highlights a 5" center block. The finished block size is 18"x18". I would like to use a Laurel Burch panel, Celestial Magic, and fussy cut the center block at 6". I'm unsure of the appropriate yardage needed, the cuts to make, the finished block size and just about everything associated with enlarging all these cuts. Material is expensive, and I really don't want this to be n expensive Oops! I really feel the need for your expertise and knowledge. These are the published quilt directions and fabric needs that DO NOT reflect the enlargement of all these cuts to balance the block. :
.5yd large print for block centers
18 FQs in assorted prints
4yd solid black for units and patches
.75yd binding
4.5 yd backing

From large print: cut : *2- 5" wide strips, subcut to 9- 5""A" squares.
* 1- 2.5" wide strip, subcut into 16-2.5" "F" squares.
From solid black, cut: *14- 5" wide strips, subcut to:
from 9 of those strips, cut 36- 5"x9.5""C" rectangles.
From the remaining 5 strips, cut to 36- 5" "A" squares.
*3- 3 1/8"" strips, subcut to 36- 3 1/8" "A" squares.
*7- 3"strips, cut into 4- 3"x67.5" borders
*12- 2.5" strips, subcut to 24- 2.5"x18.5" "E" rectangles.
From each FQ, cut: *1-5" wide strip, subcut each into
4- 5" "A"squares,
*1- 3 1/8" wide strip, cut into:
4- 3 1/8" "B" squares




MANY THANK YOUS!!!
