Looked at Pinterest per Kathy T. and found this. It's very similar. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...7058b273c4.jpg

Feed sacks were used for some of the blocks. One of the ladies suggested it would be a great quilt to use neckties in.

Also would like to find a pattern for the block.

yes, it is an interesting block. I measured it just now. 10" I will have to try to draft it out for a pattern. Might have been a one off kind of block that the quilter designed herself/himself. Anyhow....I really like it. Thanks for the comments and research that has been done. This forum is the greatest. Which means that you all are great
