 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.
Midnight Pinwheel
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Midnight Pinwheel quilt block is a five patch block (so named because it is designed on a 5 x 5 grid) containing squares, half square triangles and flying geese patches.
Rather than construct the block as five rows of five patches, I prefer to sew it as an uneven nine patch for the simple reason that I like to work with "chunks" rather than in rows. However, do not let my method sway you. Choose your favourite sewing method to construct this very pretty block.
