To acheive a 5" finished 9 patch you would need to cut your individual squares 2 & 3/16th inches square (being 1" & 11/16ths plus 1/2" seam allowance) and even this leavesyou 1/16th" out. It would be much easier to use a finished measurement easier divisable by 3: i.e. 6" finished, using 2" squares.
If 5" finished is essential,you would have to make that minute adjustment either by adding the 1/16th to middle three squares or forgetting it as it is so minimal, --- haven't really got an answer for that one.

Guess what I did it! I still have the last white border to put on but wanted to post a picture so you would see the quilt. Let me know what you think. I think that it is fun! I really just wanted to make something with pink and green so I pulled whatever I thought would work. The neat thing is it all came together for me.
