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.

King David's Crown - a Variation

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The original block called King David's Crown looked a little boring to me, so I rearranged some of the colours and came up with this variation. It just made a little more interest in the centre of the block -- at least to me anyway.

King David's Crown - Variation is considered to be a five patch block, since it is designed on a 5 x 5 grid. However, rarely do I sew a block together in five rows of five as is the norm for a five patch. I choose to construct it in "chunks" rather, in the manner of an uneven nine patch. The end result is the same, but I find this an easier method, construction-wise.

The block features lots of half square triangles and a few quarter square triangles -- (just to test your skills).
