When I made one, I swapped the northwest block with the southeast block, but didn't turn them at all. Kept my directional prints going the right direction. I just had to be careful when I sewed them back together and then to other blocks to pay attention to the direction the blocks needed to go.I made all the 9 patches, but when I cut them into quadrants and swapped the corner blocks, I sewed them immediately into the new block. But mine was not a scrappy, I only used 3 fabrics.
