I don't know this block, but it is easy to replicate. I like it too. Oops, I did white flying geese where I should have done 4 rectangles. This is a 9 inch (finished) block, beginning with a 3" (finished) central square, although it could as well have been 12".

It's known as Chinese quilt block or Broken Dish or Double X's.

I don't believe it is any of the squares listed above. The center block is set on point and there are HS triangles at the corners instead of blocks. It is a fascinating pattern and it may be an original if it is an older quilt. I have my quilting books packed away until I get a new bookcase but this pattern is fascinating.

Thank you to all who responded to my cry for help identifying this block...so many choices ha ha...yes I am thinking since this was made my g grandmother the 1800's is about the right time frame...i ended up taking apart one of the shredded blocks to make a pattern from. My mother felt that the quilts should be washed every Sat in HOT water with bleach...makes me crazy! So, now I am trying to replicate the quilts..there are 3 more that I have on my bucket list to tackle but life keeps getting in the way..this week has been granddaughter and friend and gdaughters #@! dog , I like dogs and cats but this one is out of control....visiting us on spring break....so no time to sit and sew.... Happy stitching everyone and thank you again.
