Name of this Quilt Block?
I tried searching online for a simple Boston Star quilt block. I just want to check to make sure I have the right name for the block I consider a Boston Star.
This is what I have always called a Boston Star. I saw it online called a Double Friendship Star. Are they both right?

There is a tutorial here on QB for the Boston Star http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...al-t38879.html
The Double Friendship star on Quilterscache.com doesn't have the HST in the corners.

When I named my Boston Block I saw a pattern called Boston Star and I used that to name my shortcut method.
But I wanted to double check that I was calling the quilt block I use by it's right name. I couldn't find anything online to prove me right or wrong. So I am asking for help to make sure I don't call it something it isn't in my tutorial

Now, I did find some examples on the web of a double friendship block, other than Quilters cache, that looks just like what you are calling Boston Star Block in your tutorial.

Yep that's pretty much all I could find too. Thanks for looking. I appreciate it. I remember seeing this quilt block when I developed my shortcut in 2009 but now I can't find a pic of it except as you say in the Double Friendship block. But I swear the one I saw in 09 was called Boston Star.
Oh well they say you can call them anything you want. I just didn't want to confuse anyone or have someone tell me I was using the wrong name
Thanks for trying auntpiggylpn!
