I really hate to admit that I'm so awful with math that I have to ask for help for measurements....BUT I NEED HELP!
My pattern will be the disappearing nine patch... and I need my blocks to be unfinished 12 1/2.
What size would I need to cut my patches?
Should I cut them 5', and then square up/cut my block to size?
Thanks for your help!

The problem is to get a D9P to come out exactly 12 1/2 you have to start with a really odd measurement that's nearly impossible to cut. Unless it's for a swap of some kind just let the blocks be the size they want to be.

If you wanted it to end up "unfinished" at approximately 12.5 inches, you might try cutting the pieces like in the attached drawing.
Cut four 4.5 inch squares
Cut four 4.5 x 6 inch rectangles
Cut one 5 inch square
A bit of an adaptation, but I think it would work.
