What size are your orig squares for the 9 patch? I was thinking of buying a 12 1/2" square die from AccuQuilt and a reviewer of the die said it was great for a D9P with large scale fabrics. Wouldn't that make a larger big block or what am I missing?

Great tutorials. Thanks for the information. I've added them to my ever-growing files.

Krafty14, thank you so much for the "shortcut"!! I'd been pondering the same thing, wanting to make a "I Spy" D9P for my grandson. Thought I was going to have to create each section of the block individually, instead of starting with the 9 patch! This board is fantastic!!!!

The squares for mine are a very unhelpful 3.25in, because that's the size of the pictures! 12.5in squares would make a huge 9-patch block, wouldn't they?
Mine's going well - have made all the blocks, and am just about to cut them up. That's when the 3.25in becomes a real pain!

Thank you!!!

Directional fabric is more difficult to deal with and thus you have to be precise where those blocks are going. Since there are four position that are in this pattern, you just have to find where each of the 4 parts of the block can be placed with being in the correct direction. Takes a bit more time. HOPE you have a design wall, you are going to need one.
