 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.
Magnolia
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Magnolia quilt block is a seven patch that I have modified slightly to remove many (unnecessary) seams. This makes the sewing easier and creates less bulk -- a winning combination.
Even though this block is a seven patch, I find it much easier to construct it as an uneven nine patch, rather than sewing it together in seven separate rows. I replaced many of the half square triangle patches with flying geese units so that there is no centre seam in those patches. The remaining patches are simple squares or rectangles.
