Here's Rhonda's easy Cut-Down method:

And here are some of her other block methods:

For those of us who freak out at the very mention of the word "hypotenuse," this method takes the steam out of it. :)

You could make it 8 across and 9 down for 72" x 81" and add some borders if you wanted it bigger. That's 72 blocks so quit early or make a few more and have it 8 across and 10 down with 80 blocks or 72X90.
If the finished size of your block is 8 1/2" then you will lose 1/2" for every seam joining the blocks so about 4" smaller across and up and down.
How big do you want it?
There is no set pattern! Everyone is doing their own thing after the blocks are done.
