I did a 9 patch in the shape of the gingerbread boy for a pot holder. It is done on point. I did the brown blocks to form a solid X shape. The "head" is one of the corner blocks that would be white but instead it is brown also with 3 corners of white sewn on like a snowball block. The arms and legs get white rick rack for the icing and the tummy gets 3 small dark buttons for the raisins. The head gets 2 small black buttons for the eyes and the mouth is embroidered on.

If you google 9 patch gingerbread boy block you might find it. Good luck.
