Katy - Robbing Peter to Pay Paul came from Quilter's Mix and Match Blocks, A Comprehensive Handbook From Leisure Artscopyright 2004. It has over 200 project ideas 50 12 1/2 in blocks with directions. I use it all the time. All the blocks are pieced.IT IS A GREAT BOOK. I have seen the pattern in another of my quilting books but I do not remember which. If you want to really know, I will do a search.

The Robbing Peter to Pay Paul block gets its name from the original tqo-color format where each square seems to "borrow" half of the adjacent square. When the blocks are set together, the pattern formed by the four adjacent corners recreates the original central block in reverse coloring. Most quilters are more familiar with the curving Drunkard's Path or orange peel pattern called Robbing Peter to Pay Paul.The earliest publication for the original pattern was 1898 (Ladies Art Company #154) and an alternate name for the block is called Arizona.
