Traditionally done in red, this block was originally published as the Red Cross quilt block. Modern quilters tend to mix the colors up a bit more. The construction is identical to the Brickwork Quilt Block, however, the coloring differs.

Below is an example of groupings, one using the traditional red, and the other with a multi-color approach:
