This block is one which is said to hark back to the American Civil War. It has been published as a pattern in at least two newspapers since; Once by Nancy Cabot (Chicago Tribune) as "The Garden of Eden", and also by the Kansas City Star as "Economy". Sometimes it is characterised as an uneven nine patch sometimes as a 5x5 patch.
