That is a tough one Alana! But WOW so beautiful!
Since each block is made from 3 smaller blocks, and you only need 1/2" overall smaller, maybe try just shaving 1/8" off each square and rectangle before you sew them?

for this one you could try trimming the corner half square triangles down a quarter of an inch, and redo the remaining pink rectangle pieces. Keep the white star measurements the same, but make the pink pieces 1/4 inch shorter, subtracting from the long side instead of short. Would that work?Quote:

I've thought of that too. I am going to try sewing them together and see what happens. Otherwise I will just go with a different 9 inch and cut my embroidered blocks down to fit a 9 inch finished size.
The 1/8" may work too. I'll get back to you....
Thanks for all your help.
I think I may try this and see what happens. Thanks for your help....I really appreciate this.
Just a thought....

just do a framed nine patch. And trim the frame part till it meets your requirements.
Oh wait - how about an hour glass or quarter square triangle block? Just make it large then trim down and it will form a secondary pattern when alternated with your embroidered blocks.
This is what I'm trying to do
