Name that block
Family lore says this is from World War I. I have looked through all sorts of resources, including Jinny Beyer's humungous book of patchwork patterns. But I can't find the name of this block. Do you know what it is?

Yes, "Night and Day" is similar to one in Jinny Beyer's book, but the proportions are just a bit different. I tried to duplicate the block, and it's really difficult. Makes sense to piece it by hand as Aunt Eliza did.
