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

I don't know if Pinwheel Star is the correct name for this quilt block. I just came up with it while playing around with the colours in another block. Right away, I noticed the pinwheel in the centre of the block as well as the star that forms around it -- hence the name I gave it. This is an easy block to construct because it contains only basic shapes -- the square, half square triangles and flying geese units.

If you happen to know if there is an actual name already for this block, please let me know.
