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.
Circling Overhead
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Circling Overhead quilt block is for those quilters who would like a little more of a challenge, now that they have honed their skills in easier quilt blocks.
This quilt block is technically an eight patch as it is designed using an 8 x 8 grid. However, it is constructed as an uneven nine patch because of the different sized "chunks" created from smaller patches.
You will gets lots of practice making flying geese and using half square triangles and quarter square triangle pieces to make the aforementioned "chunks" to proceed with the final block design.
All in all this is an intriguing block to sew and I hope you enjoy making it.
