It can be really interesting to follow the names of quilt blocks. I post this one for the letter I because one of its names is Indian Meadow. It is listed with that name in two early historic quilt resources. But the same sources and another also call it Queen Charlotte's Crown. One other has it as Basket Design.
Meanwhile, both of these blocks are listed in some sources as Indian Meadow (along with other names.)
Basically, it means that a similar block may be developed in different times or regions and be given different names.
Why any of them would be called Indian Meadow is a good question.
