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.

Jacob's Ladder - Variation

Sample Quilt Layouts

The two quilt layouts shown below for the Jacob's Ladder - Variation quilt block use traditional settings of the blocks.

The quilt layout featured on the left sets the blocks on point and separates them with sashing strips in the same fabric as the quilt background. This makes the blocks appear to "float". This block setting in the overall quilt makes its own geometric shape in the final result.

The quilt layout illustrated on the right sets the blocks side by side. The blank areas formed by the large corner squares in the individual blocks create a perfect place to showcase a lovely quilting design.
