Default Anyone know what this block is called?

So, was playing around with some stuff and came up with this. I swear I have seen it before, but now that I am looking for it, nada![ATTACH=CONFIG]602399[/ATTACH]

Those are four of the blocks put together, prints in center, white outside.

I'm not finding my reference book that has blocks divided by 4th's like this one, but I know it has a lot of regional names -- lol, just can't recall any of them right now. If you angle the pieces you get Windmill or Houndstooth.

It’s constructed like a rail fence. Most of the ones I’ve seen have 3-5 rails, but I think it works and looks good with 2.

I remember seeing this set recently but can't remember where or what it is called.

It looks like a block I know as Roman Square but it usually has 3 rails not just 2.

I found one on MSQC called Jack and Jill but on her's, she put half square triangles on the ends of some, but the layout is the same.

I call this Tessellating Crosses. I have made quilts like this and have taught a class on it.
