Quilt blocks that look almost or exactly the same are notorious for being known by multiple names. And sometimes, even blocks that are totally different from each other end up with the same designations. I think the confusion is a result of endless numbers of quilters working independently of each other during the entire history of quilting, coming up with "new" designs of their very own (when in fact you can bet most "original" designs have been developed by more than one person without knowledge of the other) and choosing names they felt suited a block's layout.
The quilt blocks in this quiz are all traditional and most of them are pretty well known. I do admit to throwing in a couple that aren't quite as common, just to make the questions a bit more interesting. Take the quiz to see how you do, but remember, it's just for fun.
