Default Please help identify this blocks name

Can anyone here help me identify this specific blocks name? It kind of looks like arrows to me. I've looked online and cannot seem to locate anything specific that looks like this. It could be applique but I'm hoping if it is indeed "a quilt block by name" there will be a pattern for it somewhere. Thanks in advance for helping!

I looked in Brackman but did not see it, although it is very similar to Nancy Cabot's Red and White Cross.

looks fairly easy to replicate. two HST of red and yellow and then one red square and one yellow square, make four four patches and then sash and surround with the yellow. try drawing it out on graph paper.

I could not find the name of the block, either, but this is how I drafted it in EQ. the squares are 4" and the sashing is 1", so the finished block is 11"x11"

Looks like a simplified version of patchwork tulips. https://www.thespruce.com/patchwork-...attern-2821228

Here is a link to a block that is very similar and already made into a pattern. Just eliminate all of the blocks you don't need to make it simple.

This block with the corner stone in the middle is called Nordic star it does have a couple other names too. Here is a tutorial that shows the block with the center corner stone as another color but you can do all background too
