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.

Sample Quilt Layouts

The Saltwater Taffy quilt block is an ideal choice for a beginner quilter.

The quilt layouts featured below both use an on point setting of the quilt blocks for similar but subtle differences in the resultant quilts. The quilt design illustrated on the left uses fewer pieced blocks but incorporates a couple of colourful blank blocks in the centre of the quilt and more shots of colour along the edges of the quilt, for a sort of "colour blocking" effect.

The quilt layout shown on the right fills the quilt design with full and half blocks for a total overall design.
