Thanks so much Ms Kay, I was beginning to wonder if I had seen this video in my dreams. LOL Glad to know I'm not losing my mind.

In E. Burns's book it is part of an Irish chain. It probably has its own name somewhere ...

There are many names for this block, I know it as Puss in the Corners. When I was first learning to quilt I watched an episode with Kaye Wood, who strip pieced the blocks, making a pretty baby quilt; she may even have it on You Tube or her website. You can always check with quilterscache.com.

I just went to Missouri Star and searched for Layer Cake quilts. You can search by tags on the right side under the tool bar..it says 'Latest Comments Tags" just click on tags.
