Its a great ability for you all!! Beautiful blocks!!
This might help you... If I see a design that is basically a 4 patch, 9 patch or 16 patch, I know the parts need to measure as follows:
4 patch: 6.5" squares
9 patch: 4.5" squares
16 patch: 3.5" squares.
If you find a pattern that is broken down easily into those sizes, just engineer the parts to fit in their respective sizes.
Not all designs are 4, 9 or 16 patches, obviously... but a whole lot of them are!
