 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.

Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Nine Patch Star quilt block is a good choice for a new quilter as it contains simple patches and give ample opportunities for practice on the most commonly used patch in quiltmaking -- the half square triangle.
A simple nine patch is featured in the centre of the design, but actually, the whole block, even though it is technically a five patch, (due to its being designed on a 5 x 5 grid) is sewn as an uneven nine patch for ease in the construction. Hopefully, this is not totally confusing as this is an easy block to make.
