nine patch block
#2
5.5 inches divided by 3 equals 1.83. Adding in .25 seam allowances should make each cut square 2.33 inches. Uggggg..........Are you sure you need 5.5 inches finished? Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

So, without seam allowenses the block will be 5 inch.
However you do your math, it will be a strange size for the patches. 5 inch devided by 3 equals 1.66666 .inch. Then you have to add 2x seam allowense. Or you could say 1 block is 1 2/3 inch excl. seam allowens.
As I said, very strange size.
But I could be completely wrong of course :-)), after all, I'm only dutch ROFL (yep, that's my excuse)

I like Dunster idea !! Creative juices are always flowing from her!! I would really like to know why do you need a nine patch that is finished 5.5" You can have a 4.5" finished block with a 2"strip, a 5.25" finished block with a 2.25"strip or a 6" finished block with a 2.5" strip.
