I believe you're correct. Once you sew your 9 blocks together to make the 9 patch, then you cut them once vertically and horizontally. Once you've rearranged these new 4 pieces, then, you sew the top two halves together, the bottom two halves, and finally the top and bottom together. (if I remember correctly)
