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 Free Trade quilt block is an easy nine patch block comprised of three simple components -- the square, half square triangle and flying geese units. Imagine the possibilities when you play around with your colour choices.

For the sample quilts shown on the next page, I feel this block should be called "Luck of the Irish" or something similar. However, that is simply because the quilts are all in various shades of green. By simply changing up your colours you will have a totally different looking quilt. Just be sure to have the same contrast between the light, dark and medium fabrics.
