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.

Easter Lily

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Easter Lily quilt block in this original design, is meant to show the beautiful petals and the contrasting pistils and stamens as it opens to show off its bloom.

This five patch block is sewn in groupings of patches -- (I call them "chunks") for ease in sewing the final block. It's much easier to construct the block as an uneven nine patch, rather than row by row (at least in my opinion). Many pieces are stitched using the "sew and flip" technique of triangle construction, rather than the standard half square triangle method usually used.

There are no difficult patches to sew in the making of this flower block, but due to the many pieces in the design, extra care must be taken to sew a precise quarter inch seam allowance so that all parts go together easily. You are up to the challenge!
