A happy accident?

In my haste the other night to finish up my last 2 X & + blocks I had a sewing accident.  Notice anything special about these blocks?
I didnt even notice until I was sewing the last seams and I was chain-piecing so it was a double-whammy.
 
I dont even know if these are "real" blocks and what the name is but I'm currently calling them O blocks.  Then I had a thought about making a bunch of O blocks and turning this scrappy X & + quilt into an X's and O's quilt.  

So here comes the real question...would anyone fancy an X's and O's quilt-a-long?  If there's enough interest I'll get it started.

  1. oh how fun! I'd at least be interested in hearing about an x and o qal, and possibly following along!

  2. Cabbage Cathy calls it a hugs block, as in 'hugs and kisses.'

  6. What a "clever" accident. It makes a great variation on the original block. Joanne
