 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.
Autumn Leaves
Free Quilt Block Pattern
I have assigned the Autumn Leaves quilt block to the Intermediate skill level -- not because it has difficult pieces, but because there are so many pieces in the block -- 53 to be precise. The only patches used are squares, rectangles and half square triangles.
By taking your time, you can create this lovely seven patch block in no time, as long as you take care to be precise in sewing an accurate quarter inch seam allowance. The good news is that you will make a larger quilt block due to the design using a 7 grid, and so this makes a lovely 14" quilt block. However, I have also given instructions for making a 7" quilt block as well.
