 Nine Patch | Uneven Nine Patch |
The Uneven Nine Patch style of quilt block is so named because not all of the nine individual patches are the same size as is the case in a regular nine patch quilt block. This style of quilt block is often used in 10" quilt block to make the math easier, but you will find this construction method in many other quilt blocks as well.
Around the Block
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Around the Block quilt block looks pretty simple on the surface, but a little extra care must be taken when cutting the pieces. Some of the square patches are a little trickier to cut as their measurements often fall in between the increments on standard rulers.
Tip - When cutting a piece that requires measurements in the 16ths of inches, just set your ruler halfway between the lines marking 8ths of inches.
Having said all that, this quilt block is fun to make since it uses some of the patches not found as frequently, such as the square in the square. This is where you can have some fun.
