Uneven Nine-Patch Pattern
The "Uneven Nine-Patch" is
a popular and simple quilt block style where the individual patches are different sizes, unlike a standard nine-patch. While specific proprietary patterns are copyrighted, the general construction is widely shared and is considered beginner-friendly.
General Cutting & Assembly Instructions (9-inch Block)
These are general instructions for a traditional 9-inch finished block (9.5 inches unfinished), based on common quilting resources. All seams use a standard 1/4-inch allowance.
Cutting Measurements
Center Square: One 5-inch square
Corner Squares: Four 2.75-inch squares (alternatively, some patterns use 2.5-inch squares for a different look)
Side Rectangles: Four 5 x 2.75-inch rectangles (alternatively, some patterns use 2 x 3.5-inch rectangles for a different block size)
Assembly Steps
Lay out the pieces in three rows, referring to a visual guide if needed (the general layout has the large square in the middle, rectangles on the sides, and small squares in the corners).
Sew together the pieces in each row using a 1/4-inch seam allowance.
Press the seams toward the darker fabric to help them nest properly when joining the rows. For the top and bottom rows, this is typically toward the center; for the middle row, it is typically away from the center.
Join the three rows to make the complete block, carefully aligning the seams.
Press the finished block well to ensure it lies flat.
Alternative Methods & Patterns
Various interpretations of the "Uneven Nine-Patch" are available, often with full patterns for purchase or free tutorials:
PDF Patterns: You can find beginner-friendly digital PDF patterns for purchase on platforms like Etsy, which offer step-by-step instructions for a small fee.
Video Tutorials: Numerous free video tutorials on YouTube demonstrate different cutting methods and block sizes, which are helpful for visual learners.
Accessory Tools: Tools like the AccuQuilt GO! Uneven 9-Patch 12" Block die set can make cutting the specific shapes faster and more accurate.
Free Online Tutorials: Some quilting blogs offer full photo or written tutorials, such as the "Two-Color Uneven 9-Patch Quilt Free Pattern" from Gigi's Thimble.
An Uneven Nine-Patch is a variation of the classic nine-patch quilt block where the pieces are different sizes, creating more movement and interest than a traditional evenly cut block.
What makes it “uneven”?
Instead of all nine squares being the same size:
Some squares are larger or smaller
Or the block is made from rectangles and squares
The center square is often emphasized by being larger (or occasionally smaller)
Common Uneven Nine-Patch Layout
A very popular version uses:
Center square: larger focal fabric
Corners: smaller squares
Sides: rectangles
Example cutting idea (unfinished sizes):
Center: 4½" square
Corners (4): 2½" squares
Side pieces (4): 2½" × 4½" rectangles
This still finishes as a square block but looks much more dynamic than a regular nine-patch.

Sewing Of A Patent or PU Leather Pouch
The pouch in this video can be used in various sizes. Pattern to this is 11 x 8 1/2 inches, with in the corners a 1 inch square removed out to make box corners. It is a very user friendly pattern. Quilting, Applique, Embroidery etc. can be used to style or decor special occasions when making it.
