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.

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Desert highway is a simple block using the most common quilt patches -- the square and the half square triangle.

Even though this block is technically a five patch design, I have chosen to construct this block as an uneven nine patch, simply because I am not a fan of sewing individual rows together. However, do not hesitate to construct your block in rows if that is your preference.
