This was IMMENSLY helpful and timely for me! Thank you all, especially dunster! The reason I require the oddball 8.5" finished nine-patch block, is that I'm cutting multiple fat quarters into four 9" square blocks which will be alternated with nine-patch blocks to make a patchwork-looking picnic blanket. Thanks to you all...
