 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 English Wedding Ring quilt block is based on a 5 by 5 grid, so the math is easy. This block can be sewn as a five patch or in the manner I have chosen to construct it -- as an uneven nine patch. Neither method is correct -- just a preference.
This quilt block contains only two different quilt patches -- the square and the half square triangle. These two patches are the most commonly used units in quilting.
