  1. I am really confused. Why are quilt designs called “Disappearing” this or that? What is disappearing? Like in a Disappearing 9 patch?

  2. Because the block starts as something such as a shoofly block in this case but it turns into some other block which is not a shoofly block anymore.

  3. I could have called sliced shoofly too. It’s not like it has a name that I know of.
