Yup ... the block I chose was a 9" block and I forgot about that before I started cutting!! Dummy me didn't realize it until I had the puppy pieces fussy cut ... too late. So you got a mitered border around your 9" block
It is a very nice block any way you cut it. I have created 10" block thinking 12. Borders add so much more than take up area. I really love it. Phannie
