 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 of Luxor
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The colour scheme I chose for the Star of Luxor quilt block was intended to reflect the sky at night. This block was new to me and right away I could see it could be easily simplified. This is a challenging block, but well worth the effort.
If you are a regular visitor to this site, you know that I often make the construction of some of the blocks easier to sew.
For this block, I replaced many of the half square triangles with flying geese units and in some cases, with square in a square patches, which reduces the number of seams and therefore producing less bulk. Lastly, I constructed it as an uneven nine patch rather than in single rows.
