(When someone says HST or Flying Geese, we usually are more or less in agreement as to what is meant. I am wondering what the "usually used" terms are.)
Doreen Speckmann called Figure A "Peaky and Spike"

But what if you were trying to explain the unit to somebody on a quilting forum? I suspect you would come up with some sort of description other than "A Unit", especially in a patchwork piece that is so commonly used in so many quilting patterns. That particular unit is used in Tennessee Waltz, 54-40 or Fight and Storm at Sea to name a few. I think that is what Bear was trying to do, find the most commonly used name for the units for purposes of communicating about them without having (or without being able) to attach a picture. A lot of our members have problems with inserting pictures or drawings into their posts.
