Devil's Claw (Block #17)

Here we go again. Today's block is called Devil's Claw. I don't particularly like the name of this block. But it is what it is. It seems to go by several other names which I like much better, which include, Botch Handle, Lily, Des Moines,  and  Cluster of Lilies. It may also refer to a low growing South African plant Devil's Claw. The seed pod, which is scary looking,  kind of looks like the quilt block

 This one was a little fussy, It went together just fine but there are a awful lot of half square triangles.  I used some Japanese/Chinese inspired fabric that came as a fat quarter set.
