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 used the obvious colour scheme to create this Saltwater Taffy quilt block -- that colour scheme being what I would see on the seashore. This five patch block is an easy one to get you started on your quiltmaking journey. It features only the simplest of patches -- squares, rectangles and half square triangles.

This block is constructed as an uneven nine patch as I find that the simplest construction method for most five patch blocks, despite the name.
