It was so much fun to make. Mine is an Ohio Star rather than the Shoo Fly. a terrific style to try.

That's the one I remember! Thanks for the link.

Several of the books are listed on eBay

Here are the instructions for the original Shoo Fly Block. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zmQNIaO4Ri...nal_Page_1.jpg

Some of the corners have QST's on them to produce the shading effect. This is for a Ohio Star but it shows clearly how to make the QST's. https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/easy...-units-2821468 You only need them on half of the corner blocks.

I have been looking for a quilt pattern for my granddaughter. It has to feature horse fabrics. I started with your focus quilt and then added borders to make it big enough for her to snuggle under. The finished Shoo Fly Blocks are 15 inches. I really like my 80x88 version from EQ7. fyi....her favorite color is teal.

Edited to add: I added the rotary cutting for the 15 inch finished (15.5 before it's sewn together with the other blocks) to show you what the QST cornered blocks look like.

I have seen something similar with a churn dash pattern. I love how these shadow quilts look. Any basic pattern could probably be done with graph paper and creative imagination.
