Ohhhhh, I see! I looked up "Boston Block" in the Book 5,500 Quilt Block Designs" by Maggie Malone and it has a listing for "Boston Block" but not "Boston STAR Block". The Boston Block doesn't look like your design at all. Jinny Beyers has a Boston Star Block and it is slightly different from your "Boston Star Block"

Now, I did find some examples on the web of a double friendship block, other than Quilters cache, that looks just like what you are calling Boston Star Block in your tutorial.
