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.

The Basket Puzzle quilt block is made of simple shapes -- only the square and half square triangle patches are used.
This quilt block can be used as a lesson for beginner quilters and also for a lesson on colour value. To make a really effective block, you need to use fabrics of light, medium and dark values.
The quilt block is technically a five patch as it has five distinct rows. However, the construction of this quilt block is done in the form of an uneven nine patch.
