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.

For all those who are regular visitors to this website, you are aware that I just love plaids. So, naturally, this quilt block called Plaid just seemed to call my name.

This quilt block could not be easier to make. It is a five patch design, made entirely with squares -- no triangle points to match up at all. Easy peasy. And ... to make it even easier ... for the sewing phase, I have constructed it as an uneven nine patch, simply because I find it much easier to work with "chunks", (in this case, little four patches in the corners), rather than row by row. Of course, this is just a personal preference, so feel free to sew it your way. :-)
