BEJEWELED SCRAPS

Is the title of this article in "Quilt" magazine dated Spring of 1990. I just loved the title, had to share. Oh yes, this magazine was $3.90 at that time.

Then, can you guess the name of this block? If you can, there will be a fat quarter in store for you. I know, it is not much but my postal bill is going to be outrageous.

  20. In 5500 Quilt Block Designs by Maggie Malone, it's listed as Texas Trellis, Maple Leaf, Whirligig, Whirling Hexagons and Whirling Triangles. I also found it listed as Kansas Twister, when I searched for Texas Trellis on the web.
