Album or Chimney Sweep Quilt

I saw an old quilt at the Gilbert Museum and it inspired me to make one. 
I like the block name 'Chimney Sweep.'  The blocks in this pattern resemble the bricks in the opening of the oldest style chimneys in America. 

Women also used this block a lot for album quilts. Quilts where each women in a community would make and sign a block and give the quilt to someone.
