Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I was at a house museum today and saw a quilt with the below pattern. It's certainly simple and I could figure out how to do it on my own but I was just wondering if it had a name I could look up for examples, etc. In the quilt I saw the whole piece was maybe 2 inches total and they were all adjoining, no sashing. It also didn't really have the 3D effect you sort of see in the picture. Excuse my poor paint skills!
My Machines: Singer Featherweight 221 (c. 1940), Kenmore 158.1430, c. 1926 Free, Singer 66-8 Redeye 1921
Coveted: Singer Rocketeer, Elna Supermatic (green)
Don't know if the block has a name but I think the mitered borders are called frames? Here are two links on how to do them

It's called a square with a mitred border around it.
I have a cheater way to make this. The pictures are a little blurry.
I love my life!

Huh???? I don't see the connection to the question.
My block picture is a square with a miter border around it. The square was sewn on the quarter hst. The square could be fussy cut or plain fabric. Simple and fast.
I love my life!
