Cotton Boll/ X Block
O block/ the big O Block
This is not the O block used with the X block to make an x's and o's quilt (which is based on a 2x2 grid) this is a variation of a snowball block based on a 3 x 3 grid - that being said if you want to make an XOXO quilt with this version make the blocks 6" or 12" and they will still fit together.
This version is from Generations Quilt and comes in five sizes

Autumn Tints quilt block
This block is a variation of the bear paw block - not to be confused with the double four patch block which is also called autumn tints. Here the large square for each "paw" is replaced with a four patch which is colour co-ordinated with the sashing and cornerstone within the block to give the appearance of a nine patch.
This version is from Generations quilts and comes in three sizes
