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.
Cheyenne
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Cheyenne quilt block is a wonderful choice as an introductory block for a new quilter.
This block is technically a four patch design, as it is created using a 4 x 4 grid. However, it is actually sewn as an uneven nine patch due to the arrangement of the patches.
This block features two commonly used patches -- the half square triangle and the square in a square unit which makes up the centre of the block. You will have great fun with colour placement in this block.
