I would like to make a d9p which finishes at 12 1/2 inches square. I know if I use 4 1/2 squares I will end up with a 12 1/2 inch nine patch, but I will have to cut it in two directions to make the d9p. Anyone know what size squares I need to start with to end up at 12 1/2 inches square?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Yes, which means for a block to end up 12.5 it would have to be 13 inches before you cut it. 13 does not divide evenly by 3.

If you really need a 12.5" finished d9p block, you can cut your original patches at 4 5/6" (difficult to measure with standard quilting tools) or you could cut them at 5" and then trim down the finished d9p block. Because of the geometry of the block, the finished quilt would still look like a d9P.
