I need to see a pattern - do you have a link? in your message below you list three blocks...did you mean to say that there were two solid blocks..the 4 1/2 inch ones? with two of the four patches? or did you mean that the alternate was a ninepatch and one row of that block had the two fourpatches and one solid block?
Based on the original block being 12 inches finished, the 2 1/2 inch strips would finish to 2 inches and make a nice four patch that is 4 inches square...that would fit nicely with the 4 1/2 cut solid and with other blocks of the same size would make a ninepatch that finishes at 12 inches.
since no one else has gotten involved in this discussion, we could continue it thru PMs if you want.

The 4 patch in the orginal pattern was cut: 2 1/2 strips for 4 patch. 4 1/2 solid block.
