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.

Peony Basket

Sample Quilt Layouts

The two sample quilt layouts illustrated show that even though this Peony Basket block might not have a 'masculine' name, by selecting darker colours, the man in your life will love this quilt.

The quilt layout on the left uses a side by side setting of the blocks and separates them with sashing strips. By adding the blank blocks in the centre of the quilt, this creates its own design element and offers a perfect spot to highlight your quilting designs.

The quilt layout on the right adds large corner triangles to each individual block. Careful choice of colour placement adds an additional feature that catches your eye.
