Several people asked the name of the block and I do not know. I looked in Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia and didn't find one just like it so I'll venture to say something like a Four Patch Variation. Doesn't sound too exciting does it?!
Janet, who left the first comment let me know it is a double four patch. It sounds kind of obvious now!
Enjoy!!

Beautiful quilt--I just finished one of the same pattern and I believe the basic block name is Double Four Patch.
I think it might be Triple Four Patch as there are really three sets of the basic 4 patch. Either way it's such a cool looking block. Reminds me of the one in Trail Mix.
Ooh I'm so glad someone asked you for the instructions Lori - It's now on my to do list!
Thanks for putting the pattern up. It looks like a fun project for playing with the repros.
Thanks for posting that info. Need to get started with a leader/ender.
Thanks Lori. I love that quilt. It will now go on my to do list..
Thanks for posting the pattern. I have been thinking about making this quilt almost everyday since you posted your picture - I think it is next on my to-do list.
Looks like a quadruple four patch to me. But I can see that the squares have two four patches in each one.
I don't know how many patches it is, but it's pretty! Love the fabrics :)
Karen said it might be a Triple four patch, and that is true, too. I have seen it listed both ways. I was going by the pattern I just used, but I have one my mother made for me that was labeled triple four patch in her pattern.
Thank You!!
Thanks for posting the pattern. I am going to go check out my repros and see what else I need to collect.
Love it Lori, it's simple and sweet! Have a good weekend, I'll be sewing for 3 lovely days with my Sew Sisters! Hooray!
I used the double four patch block in my bowtie quilt. It is a great "mixer" block as well as a stand alone! Thanks for the directions.
Thanks for sharing the pattern. You used EQ didn't you. Hugs.
Hi...
This pattern was featured in 'American Patchwork & Quilting', June 1996.
Mabeth Oxenreider made the quilt and the pattern was called a 'Triple Fourpatch'. I've made this twice and each time it is a beauty! Great pattern for stashes!
Thank you for the pattern.
I've been wondering how the pattern went. Guess you've solved it for me now.
Another quilt on my list ... it never ends does it?
So sweet, I love it!
I've been thinking about making a quilt from these blocks--I really should cut the fabrics which I have set aside for it and start making blocks as leader-enders. Great Idea.
I have been thinking about it as a double-double 4-patch. All the comments here prompted me to go look in Brackman's Encyclopedia of Pieced Blocks ... and I didn't find it there. (The Carrie Nation block is probably the closest).
This is so fun! For years I've been making this block - just one from each quilt I've made's scraps. Someday I'll have a good memory quilt! Maybe when I'm 80. :-)
Hello Lorin, thankyou for the pattern...love the colourway...Regards, Lyn
That is exactly how I imagined the block. I couldn't think of the name either, until I read it and too had the feeling : o yes, of course!
Thanks Lori, You are always so kind!
