Prairie Queen is a nine patch block using whole squares, half square triangles and nine patches.
It also has the alternative name of True Blue
In order to draft the Prairie Queen block start with a 3 x 3 grid.
Turn the corners into half square triangles (Shoo Fly block)
Add four patches to the side squares
This video tutorial from Nancies Notions gives a 12 inch block
This video from Stacey Lee Creative also gives a 12 inch block with a slightly different colour variation
This video from my sewing room gives another colour variation and a 9 inch block
This version uses Accuquilt instead of standard cutting techniques
