Start by marking and cutting the Color 1  2-1/2" x 5" strip into two 2-1/2" squares. Mark and cut the Color 1  2-1/2" x 9" strip into two 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles. Mark and cut the Color 1  2-1/2" x 13" strip into two  2-1/2" x 6-1/2"rectangles...

 Now mark and cut the Color 2   2-1/2" x 20" strip into eight 2-1/2" squares...

Then mark and cut the Color 4  2-1/2" x 15" strip into six 2-1/2" squares. Mark and cut the Color 4  5" x 18" strip into eight 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles. Mark and cut the Color 4  2-1/2" x 13" strip into two 2-1/2" x 6-1/2"rectangles...
