Borrow away! There are a few drawbacks and if they wouldn't bother you, have fun! I've had to switch the direction of some of my seams in order to have proper matching and nesting.... but, some I could not switch because they were already sewn in one direction in the original 9 patch. It hasn't been a big problem, just be aware. Also, here and there are snips of fabric on the underside from the corners of pieces that were right on my diagonal cut line. I've been cutting some out... depending on how much bulk it's creating. All in all, it's been a fun project. I can't wait to finish it.
