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.

Let's look at this quilt block as an intermediate level of difficulty -- simply because there are quite a lot of pieces to work with. The good news is that you can make this as a larger block -- hence fewer blocks to make -- so that your quilt will go together faster.

Other than squares and rectangles, the only patches in the block are half square triangles and flying geese units. Both of these patches are among the first ones you learn as a beginner quilter, so this just goes to show that making a quilt block is not difficult.
