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.

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Blueberry Compote quilt block surprised me when I started playing around with the quilt settings. Originally I had started with a three colour block but felt that the resultant quilts were kind of 'ho-hum'. Once I introduced an additional fabric (a complementary colour), it added just the spark I was looking for.

This is an easy quilt block to construct -- containing only half square triangles and squares and is constructed as an uneven nine patch, simply because of the way the sections are put together.

I hope that you start to play around with colour when trying out this block, just to see what really interesting quilt you can come up with.
