I do not have a picture to show you but it looks like a half of log cabin pattern. You use a center square, then add narrow strips to only one side and across the bottom for each block. Repeating only on the same side. Does this make sense? My mind has completely gone blank, which is not unusual.

Oddly enough, the name I know for it is Half Log Cabin.

Adding strips to only 2 sides of a center square, will give you a 1/4 Log Cabin Block. This is how the pattern "Outside The Box" I believe is constructed. If you want roundish Log Cabins, those are made by adding narrower strips on 2 sides and regular size strips on the 2 other sides.
Or, you might be thinking of Courthouse Steps block?

Is this what you are looking for?

Thank you all! It is the Half Log Cabin I was looking for and would do a face palm but afraid I might lose brain cells that need to keep. The other patterns suggested have been saved for future quilts. Thank you all again!

The Thinking Outside the Block pattern by ToadUSew may be the completed quilt. Take a look at their website or search the board -several of us made this.

Although I have saved this one for another quilt, it isn't the half I was looking for. The Half Log Cabin was it. I am anxious to start this one next though.

I may have to add this pattern for myself. Thank you! I always learn something whenever I visit this site.

Don't feel badly about forgetting something. Just a week ago I had to ask what size block do I start with if I want a 4 1/2" HST unit. And that is basic 101 quilting, but I'd gone blank, like you. The lovely members of this board stepped forward and explained it 3 different way, and Ka-ching! It all came flooding back. I just hadn't made one in a while. And no one is going to think it odd that you can't remember the name of a quilt block. That's what I love about this board. There is no such thing as a stupid question!

Try chevron log cabin blocks.
