Sew the two shorter red and white strips together, long sides together, alternating red and white. Sew the blue square to one end of this unit.
Sew a longer red strip to the bottom of this, then a white strip and finish with a red strip.
If you're making a sampler quilt of all the BOM's, you can turn this into a 12" (finished size) by adding a 12 1/2" x 3" strip of a background fabric at the top and bottom of the flag.
