Quilt Squares/Textile question

I have 19 of these 10 by 10 inch quilt squares. I was wondering if the “H” pattern had a specific name.

The fabric used for the H’s appears to be an early calico, but the blue cotton could be any time I suppose.

Most of these are machine stitched, a few are hand stitched. I bought them with some other quilt squares which are clearly “antique” but I am floundering on the general date of these squares. Any ideas?
 
I've looked in my older quilt books, and did not see this H pattern. The fabric looks 1910s, maybe into the early 20s.
 
I'm with Fuzzielizzie. I've had several Edwardian era (1912ish) dresses made with very similar fabric. Don't know anything about quilting though.
