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.

Thistle Bloom

Sample Quilt Layouts

The Thistle Bloom is a lovely eight patch block showcasing Scotland's national flower.

The quilt layout featured below on the left sets the blocks on point with alternate colourful, blank blocks to showcase your quilting design. The careful block placement generates a central motif in the quilt.

The quilt layout illustrated on the right sets the blocks side by side and separates them with sashing strips. The colourful "cornerstones" in the sashing add an extra spark to the design. Mitred borders in different colours for the corners offer an additional design element.
