I don't know why this block would get that name - I do know I like how this one came out. I used foundation paper piecing for precision on all those 1 inch half-square triangles.
The red fabric in this block is different from the others in the series, but my blocks are all made with slightly different reds. I love the drama of Vicki Welsh's shibori stripes in the four squares, so I chose a commercial print for the more subdued blue version in the center square. The red fabric in the long rectangles with a more subtle stripe was not from the same piece but it was also dyed by Vicki.

Ooh, pretty!
You made the right choice with paper piecing! I am looking forward to seeing all your blocks together with all the appliqued wreaths.
