Or to put it another way, the list of components is:
Inches          <Unquoted string
Feet            <Unquoted string
3”
0.25 ‘          <This one looks wrong, as Adrien says. There’s a space and then 
a single left, not right, quote.
6”, strap       <Quoted string, enclosed in ""
0.5’, strap     <Quoted string, enclosed in ""

The 0.25 entry may have been messed up if you copy/pasted.
