Try looking for “RedCross quilt”. That is the name it has in one of my “fat quarter friendly quilts” books.

Still looking for that one reference book, it's an older one. As I recall the names were pretty generic "scrap basket" types. There are some people who make a distinction between "pieced" and "patch" where a patch is a single shape as in this case. Rectangles are typically called bricks. Other patches are tumblers, apple core, diamonds, shells, hexes, etc. One of the many nice things (as well as confusing) about quilting is you get to name it whatever you want! Below is a Houndstooth top that I recently completed.

It is called L7.

Thanks everyone for all of the replies! I was sure I'd get answers from here! I'm going to go with calling it either a simplified rail, or the tessellating crosses, as it seems to be the closest to them. I did go and find the jack and jill one for MSQ's youtube tutorial, and found a second one that has a similar look called "twin sisters". No matter what its called, I think I rather like the look of it!

I agree. L7

I know the block as Road to Illinois.
|
How appropriate! This quilt will eventually be going to my mother in law and she lives in Illinois!

Ooh. Confirm my statement out on the Web. Then, you could add the info to the label. Just a thought.

This is the block that I am making in my "Peppermint Easy" quilt. Found the pattern online and purchased it. I don't believe that the pattern actually names the block but I have made 204 blocks so far...twin bed quilts...
