As for the two different block layouts with the same name?
Well, someone probably thought it was better to "simplifying" the block by making it with less pieces.
Happens all the time.
But if that 4 patch was pleasing to YOUR eye, then you go ahead and make YOUR quilt with whatever blocks you want.
It will bother some.
Most probably won't notice.
My personal pet peeve is LeMoyne Star blocks made with HST blocks.
Well, it's a nice star but, despite the clever color placement, it ain't a LeMoyne.
But that's MY problem.
I'll just have to deal with it.
