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.

Sample Quilt Layouts

Shown below are two very different quilt layouts featuring the Leavenworth Nine Patch quilt block.

The quilt layout featured on the left sets the blocks on point and rotates some of those blocks to produce both horizontal and vertical "chains" to enhance the design.

The quilt layout illustrated on the right sets the block side by side but rotates some of the blocks to produce a very different design, making the diagonal "chains" lead the eye all around the quilt.
