Can you identify these two quilt blocks?

Again according to Maggie Malone's book, the top one is known as Tenallytown Square (Nancy Cabot) and Washington Pavement.
There is a similar, slightly different, block with seaming differences in the way the long cross pieces flow in the two lower X's (they match the top X's in this one), that is called the Red Cross Quilt (Kansas City Star) and Washington Sidewalk.

It sounds like maybe we don't know for sure on that first block?
Thanks for your work on this!

Personally, I'd go with Washington Pavement. As I said earlier, that's what it is in Maggie Malone's book and here is a link to the MSU Quilt Index with a sample quilt of that pattern. Both are recognized authorities.

I think any of the names for the first block will suffice. Look at how many different patterns are called Bethlehem Star! They didn't have the internet back then so no easy way to check & see if your name was all ready taken causing many duplicate, triplicate, "x"licated names. Here are the 3 from Block Base (The digital version of the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns) so you can decide or make up your own name.
