I was anxious to see the books on the Kansas City Star quilt blocks that were in my Guild's library. I thought it would be the more "common" names of blocks since they were shared all over the country. Much to my surprise, they were renamed by the person who submitted the block. They were obviously not "new" blocks then and they aren't "new" blocks now. So blocks have many many names and each hand seems to call them what they want to call them.
