It does look like the block in the free tote pattern at animaquilts.com. Using the flying geese and the diagonal piece as one corner of a 4patch or 2 corners of a 4 patch design in the center of the quilt. with sashing between the blocks which looks like plaid cut to make the sashing strips.
I draw these on graph paper and decide what the size I want my blocks to be and add 1/4" This pattern could be made with HST's and also strips or a combination of both.
Wish I had the ability to post a diagram.. Jan in VA.and some of the others do such a good job showing how to make blocks like these
Thanks for the Doll Quilt!! love it!
