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 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...

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