This block goes by the Rambler name but it’s also called Railroad Crossing.
I stitched the block traditionally but it’s also typically assembled with foundation piecing.
Let’s watch how to make it:

Hello Teresa,
Thank you for breaking down a complicated block into simple shapes and sewing instructions. I would like to make this block. I wonder if anybody has made a scrappy version.

Thank you Teresa,….absolutely love this one, and the history from Barbara……this is a “must do”. I love antique quilt making, & reproduction fabrics. Love the feeling I get thinking of the women back then when they were first making the quilt. ..what their life was like, their families, their chores,…when they found the time for sewing…….fascinating! Thanks again, Elizabeth

Thank you for posting this video. I’m using this pattern in my quilt guild’s challenge this year. As I was going through your video, I couldn’t find the measurement for the center square. What size to I need to cut? Thank you!
