About this block

This is a complex 7×7 grid design built around a Shoo Fly unit at the center, surrounded by a broader field of half-square triangles and plain squares. The layered grid gives it far more visual density than the simpler nine-patch "Greek Cross" blocks commonly found elsewhere, with the center Shoo Fly reading as its own small block nested inside the larger design.
