I found this block but didn't bookmark where I found it or what its name is. Does anyone know what it is called? Many thanks.

Try search "star quilts"

hee hee im horrible with the names.. someone will come around shortly and have the answer for you..

It's just a square in a square with flying geese and square in the corners.

In one of my books it's called a ribbon star.

Ohio Star or Variable Star

I know it as Variable star.

is it tenn. walz?
tennessee waltz i meant

Not Tennessee Waltz, the star points in TW are much more elongated.

Cant remember name but you can find it on Quilters Cache. I love the free patterns on this site.
