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.

Ruins of Jericho

Sample Quilt Layouts

The two sample quilt layouts for the Ruins of Jericho quilt block both feature a diagonal setting, but with very different results.

The quilt illustrated on the left sets whole and half blocks on point and separates them with sashing strips -- all in all, lots of visual interest.

The quilt featured on the right adds large corner triangles to each block. This has a double bonus -- enlarges the block for faster completion of the quilt and also a spot for extra splashes of colour in the careful selection of those corner fabrics.
