Nine patches are really limited by imagination or knowledge - - for example: There are no rules that say a 9-patch has to be divided equally in all nine segments (which is where churn dash or barn door come from) ... nor, is there a rule that says throughout the whole quilt every nine patch has to be the same color way ... nor does the simple 9-patch mean that you can't put nine 9-patches together to create a new nine patch ...
the premise to your question is quite a challenge as I get to thinking on it <wave>

Yes Omak, each fabric has it's own place in each block, column and row. My DH does sudoku and I took one of his completed grids and asigned each fabric a number then worked from that. Not difficult really, just a matter of keeping track of the numbered squares!
And yes, I love those 9 patches made into 9 patches that you describe - I'll have to make one of those someday! wave back!

I have to admit that I never considered the nine patch all that challenging, but now that I am thinking on it <g> okay, we now know I have crossed over to the obsessive part of the brain ... I had best get back to work!<wave>
