I heartily recommend Barbara Brackman's book as a source to find traditional patterns.
I drew this as I see it, but you could equally well make 4 FG units and 4 HST units around a broken dishes unit.

Everyone, Thank you so much for the help. I have Barbara's book but had no idea where to start looking. I've learned with EQ how to break down how a block is constructed but this one had me fooled for a while till I turned the picture sideways then I could see the segments and how the above graph looks just like the block. To me when the block is turned on angle like in the picture, it looks like a cross to me. Take care, Chris

I'll admit that I generally go the other way. I find a pattern I like in the book, then put it into EQ. Her categories do help, however. For example, I've made a scrappy quilt that I like a lot, which I now know is Vestibule or Square Cross (pix later, after it is bound)
