If the fussy cut was directional then they would end up going in all directions when you laid out your quilt unless you mapped it out and set the corners in different directions before the 9 patch is cut so that they would all be facing in the right direction once the pattern was laid out after the cuts. I have done this with directional fussy cuts with other patterns and it does take quite a bit of forethought and you often have to deal with the fussy cut not being on the straight of grain so stretching is possible.
