Quilt Block Patterns - Framed Unequal Nine Patch Quilt Block Pattern

This Framed Unequal Nine Patch quilt block finishes at 12-inches square and is made with batik fabrics in shades of browns and teal. Alter the fabrics to make quilt blocks that suit your needs.

Minimal fabric is required for each block, and the design is suitable for a scrap quilt that can draw from your fabric stash.

Choose two teal fabrics, one lighter than the other, for the four patch unit that's sewn at the block's center. Choose a medium to dark brown fabric for corner squares, and a light greenish (or neutral) fabric for the frame. Fabric cutting instructions are on page 2.

See page 3 for one layout suggestion -- a wallhanging with quilt blocks placed on point. Yardages are included.
