I like this pattern. One thing I noticed is the variation in the light shades surrounding the main block. I can see anyone of these patterns becoming the original just using variations of a cream color.

It is a lovely quilt by any name.

Rose - thanks - I could not remember if the Caffery book had a name for it. Another Guild member had the book and for a while, as I was assembling it, I had it at my house. This is our Raffle Quilt this year!

Look at #15 on this thread - the top right and bottom left corners are made of HST - so that may be where the term 'split' comes from.

Many blocks have several names - and some names have several blocks that go with them.
It can get confusing.

The part of the block that "sticks out" is a half square triangle that is part of the white block.

When I made this pattern by sight, I made four patch blocks using squares and quarter squares and then put them together like a nine patch.

Thanks to everyone who responded. That is the wonderful thing about the members of the quilting board, so many talented quilters who are always ready to help a fellow quilter. I sincerely appreciate everyone's responses. I know now I am comfortable to proceed with this quilt. I purchased a jelly roll of 2-1/2" strips on tiny coordinating calico prints specifically to make this quilt.

You ladies are the greatest!

Can not wait to see the finished Quilt!!

I can't say I understand it either, but it is a really pretty quilt regardless of what it's called. I think it's funny that the same pattern has so many names.
