Now, I won't argue the chance that a certain person lays claim to particular color lay out, but even that is iffy!

I know this pattern by another name - scrapaholic. The block is actually 1/4 of the block that everyone is looking at, and it is incredibly flexible. I've posted two quilts made from different settings of this block - http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...k-t216883.html and http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...d-t207658.html. The quilt below is the setting shown in Kathy's picture, and the block below that is the block used. As you can see, it's incredibly easy to make, and great for scrappy quilts.

That being said it looks to me that the block is assembled as in the second image.

The quilt in eparys' first picture is usually known as Arkansas Crossroads, an old traditional pattern (older than me, at least, and that's saying something!). It's usually assembled with sets of 4-patch and signature blocks. I agree that the block design shown in the second picture is correct for the quilt that started this thread (by whatever name). The main difference is the corner squares are not white in the one from the Caffrey book. As has been pointed out, it's quite versatile. Quiltville's Fourth of July quilt is a variation of this, also.

I just made this. I'm pretty sure this is about what you are going for.
