If you want to make 9" x 9"blocks I think it would be better to have it
printed or you could draw them. I bought some newsprint from my local
newspaper provider. I drew my design on one sheet then stapled several
sheets together and used my sewing machine (without thread) to pierce
the paper. It worked very well. You can also get newsprint or exam table
paper from Amazon.
Forgot to say that I would not recommend adding the 1/4 seam allowance afterwards. You need that 1/4" seam allowance while
sewing to anchor your block. It might get messy. You might find that you don't have enough fabric for your seam allowance.
Unless it's a very simple block. I guess it just depends.
