Default what are they called?

New quilter. Yes you can find anything on the web IF you know what it's called. They are blocks sometimes with a square or rectangle in the middle with what looks like various width strips, on two or all sides, then squared up.

This doesn't even make sense to me hope someone can help.

Could it be the French Braid pattern? French braid sometimes start with a square of fabric as the center and then strips and little squares are added on both sides of the square to form a long strip.

yes, I was thinking log cabin. it can be done so many ways including a pineapple block.
they can be set in a million different ways also. a great block for beginners as well as
experienced quilters.
