Okay, after looking at the pattern, there's going to be A LOT of calculating to get the larger strip size to work. I mean A LOT. I would add borders to enlarge the quilt. Do the center per the pattern, then add one or more borders of your favorite fabrics that you used in the quilt

You could try making a couple of the blocks or a wall hanging to "see how it works" - and then you might have a better idea of how to change the piece sizes.
If you are a comparative newbie and math is not your thing, I would strongly suggest doing what PaperPrincess suggested.
Or you could graph it out on graph paper and enlarge it that way.
