 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.
Star in Square
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Star in Square quilt block is a five patch block featuring lots of half square triangles and also quarter square triangles. There are a few squares thrown in for good measure, but overall this is a star block featuring lots of points. It's a good choice for the learning experience of practicing up on your triangle patches and is a nice change from the usual selections for quilters who are beginning their journey in quiltmaking.
Even though this block is a five patch, I choose to sew it as an uneven nine patch for the simple reason that I like working in "chunks" rather than in rows. You can choose your preferred method and the end result will be the same stunning block.
