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 Fan Waves was a new quilt block to me. I am not even sure this is the correct name for this block, but I liked it.

This quilt block features half square triangles in two different sizes, as well as quarter square triangles (which become the "goose" part of the flying geese unit). When you put it all together, you see a pinwheel (or a fan) in the centre of a star. All in all a good use of different patches, which results in a wonderful learning experience.
