 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.
Crystal Star
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Crystal Star quilt block is technically a four patch design as it is created on a 4 x 4 grid. However, this block is constructed as an uneven nine patch due to the size of the patches.
The two pieced types of patches used in this block are firstly, a very common unit -- the flying geese. This is one you will learn early on as you start off with this very addictive craft. Secondly, the centre patch is known as a square in a square.
Enjoy this block as a practice in continuing on with your quiltmaking journey.
