I don't know the "belly button trick" but the quilt is made from simple log cabin blocks with fancy cut Christmas tree rectangle centers. The stars on top of the tree are buttons.
Squinting at the photo, it could also be made using appliqued batik trees. Or you could make count house steps blocks as a variation.
Wish I lived close enough to go look at the quilt in person!

I found this on you tube, which references the X-block ruler.
