Is there another name for the snails tail. I would like to make a quilt using this pattern, but I am having trouble finding one.

Try this link:
http://quilting.about.com/od/quiltpa...ails_trail.htm
This one is for 9" blocks

Another suggestion - google snails trail quilt pattern

I've paper pieced 6" snails trail blocks and they turned out very well. Google snails trail paper piece

Hope this helps! Have fun!

Yes, and that's one of my favorite patterns!!! I prefer it with more than 2 colors though.

I have an old pattern from the 70s that's very similar to the snails trail called a Virginia Reel.
