that at link didn't work but here is one that does and it gives you the dimensions of the squares and rectangles. Could easily be done without purchasing a pattern. Uses 2 1/2" strips. http://quiltingismorefunthanhousewor...ral-quilt.html

I think it's basically 6" blocks (2.5" cut size centers framed with 2.5" cut size borders) and 12" strips with three 2.5" strips in each one. So make your blocks (they should end up 6.5") and then cut 12.5" strips and sew 3 together. Then sew each row up. The 6" blocks will go right in the middle of each 12" strip set. Cut strip sets shorter as needed for the end parts.

The quilt you showed is a simplified and scrappy version of what I called hanging square in square. This one has a 9 patch square in square (or simple courthouse steps), 3 units by 3 units and an elongated rail fence block, 3 units by 5 units. I've usually seen it done in 3 colors, 1 dark, 1 medium and 1 light. One column is dark + light, and then one column is medium + light.
