Great idea! You have given me an idea for my square I didn't know what to do with.

Like the ideas as do preemie quilts many times with nine patches and these would make them more interesting. Latest one we added a small sashing and ruffles.

Have you tried the grid fabric you can sew all your blocks onto . It has lines to sew on and make really nice 4 patch nine patch or however many you want to make. I buy the 2" inch grid and got it at a Fabric store. Joanns used to have it but I couldn't find it last time I went there. They do have it online.

I have used the template for a twister and it turned out so cute. I also have a free pattern given out at one of our local quilt shops using charm squares that would be cute, although you use another fabric in the sashing. I will try to download the photo for you.[ATTACH=CONFIG]315820[/ATTACH]

What about setting your nine patches on point. This would make the block look different too. Also fussy cut the center block with a flower or other design in you colors. Just some quick ideas. Good luck with your final decision.
