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.

Garden of Eden

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Garden of Eden quilt block is technically a five patch block, as it is designed on a 5 x 5 grid. However, it is another block that falls into the category of uneven nine patch, so called because the three rows making up the nine patches are not all the same width. However, the good news is that the sewing method is the same for any nine patch with equal sided units.

This quilt block is a perfect block to introduce the quilter to the square in a square patch, resulting in a square set on point. This is a common patch used in many quilt blocks.
