Then traditionally the square is the same size as the 9patch square.
But that can vary. You can see the different secondary patterns (the bowties) that emerge when you use smaller snowballs with the 9Patch block, or when you switch the coloring of the 9patch.
FYI - the measurements are a 9" FINISHED nine-patch block. The snowballs are 1",2" & 3" FINISHED.
(remember - the actual cut squares would be 1.5", 2.5" & 3.5")
If she's using a 9" (finished) 9 patch, and the alternating block is going to be a snowball, then the snowball needs to be cut at 9 1/2 for seam allowance and each square for a corner needs to be cut at 3 1/2" to match the finished little squares in the 9 patch block
OR MAYBE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION
