In her classic book The Quilter's Album of Blocks and Borders, Jinny Beyer shows the Interlocking Squares quilt block as dating from the 1930s. I've updated it several ways, including a central star, a kaleidoscope quilt motif, and a jaunty tilt. The two plain-centered versions can also showcase a fussy-cut novelty print, a special photo printed onto fabric, or an embroidered signature or motif. So many possibilities in one design.
