I have search the web for a pattern for courtyard steps. I want to make the blocks at least 12X12 when I am finished. I want the size of each strip to be about 3 inches wide.
Can someone direct me to instructions on how to make it this large.

Draw it out on graph paper. Three inch strips will give you 2-1/2" finished. Since 12-1/2" is not evenly divisible by 2.5, you will have to fudge the last rows. Otherwise, you can leave them full width, and have a different size quilt. Kinda-sorta sounds like you haven't thought your project out.
Why are you choosing 3"?

The name of the pattern is Courthouse Steps (as in many steps). If you make your stripes 3" you will only get one and a partial step per side depending how large you make the center. (3+3+3+1.5+1.5)
If you want to make the wider stripe, I'd suggest a framed square.
