What I did (before I had software) was to get some graph paper, create the block the finished size I wanted it, and then cut out the pieces of the block.
It helps to label them somehow so you remember where they go in the block. The pieces you cut out will be finished size. You can use them as templates for cutting your fabric by adding the 1/4 inch seam allowance on all sides of the patch.
Hope that helps.
Happy Quilting!
