Anyone know what this pattern is called?

I saw this design/pattern or one similar to it on the old show that Alex Anderson had on PBS. I can not find a book or pattern on how to draft the quilt. I would say it had something to do with a "shadow" because the background is the same as the smaller quilt pattern. This was designed using the Shoo Fly pattern. Even the quilt designer's name would be a help. She may have written a book at the time. Thanks!

Yes, that's the shoo fly block.
An interesting design as it creates a Shoo Fly with the shadow effect. Each shoo fly is like a nine patch. The corner pieces that have the three colours are QSTs Otherwise HSTs and plain squares. You could make your blocks whatever size you want. |
Hi QuiltE, Yes, it is a Shoo Fly block with a shadow effect, but I wonder who the designer was that came up with the idea of the shadow...any ideas?

It is interesting with the design in a design. It takes a second glance to see it is intentional and not a placement mistake with the HST.

Hi Rhonda K, I know it was a design that was several years old because we sold that house in 2005. I would like to make more, using different blocks, but can't remember the designer's name or what she may have called her design/book...

Perfect JanieW, that must be the one. I will now see if I can find their book. Thanks a bunch!

This is a fun pattern. You could make it even more convincing by using a different fabric in place of the turquoise and piecing some of the turquoise parts. I've also seen the Ohio Star done this way.

years ago I saw an article Titled Big Block Little Block. You can do this with almost any block just by the color placement. I grafted out my own. Here is a link to the information and a picture.
