I agree with the others-Apple Core pattern is what you have. I have purchased a plastic template from MSQC and hope to make a quilt with this pattern some day. Although I bet the maker of your quilt did not have templates. I bet they cut out each piece with scissors and patiently sewed them all together.

As you have just found out, quilt patterns often have multiple names depending on time period and geographic location of the quilter, Apple Core is the most common name particularly now and Axe Head is from pioneer days. I believe there are actually a few more names for this pattern but i don't recollect them this morning.

I have found a hand sewn 1950s quilt top but can't identify the block pattern. The pieces are all identical and are almost a bow (or nuclear reactor) shape. I bet you all will know it, and appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks!
