It is called a "disappearing 9 patch" or "D9P".
If you do a search on here, you'll see several really good tutorials of how to do it.
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-40144-1.htm is the one that I found to be the easiest.
I started out with 4" squares. I had the frogs in the outer corners, the yellow just in the center and the green in the "cross" of the 9 patch.
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-78255-1.htm shows how to keep a directional print straight up and down also.
I'm a newbie to using patterns and this one seemed to be easy and make sense to me. I did find I had to square up each of the new blocks before I sewed them back together regardless of how carefully I made my seams. Guess my eyeballs are crooked.
Have fun ... if you have any questions, post a question or search the board and you'll find lots of helpful people.
