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.

Wheel Frame

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Wheel Frame quilt block is designed on a 5 unit grid, so that it easily makes a 10" quilt block. (Note that I have also given you instructions for a 7 1/2" block as well as a 5" block).

This quilt block is a good choice when you are moving on from the beginning stages of your quiltmaking journey, as it includes both half square triangles as well as the quarter square triangle units. What is interesting is that, in this particular block, these quarter square and half square triangles are put together to form a unit which is often called a three-quarter square triangle patch. (See if you can pick these units out.) The block is sewn together as an uneven nine patch because the sections are not all the same size.
