Google "octagon quilt blocks" and you'll find several. Even hexagonal would give you an almost round shape. Look at normal square blocks. Often times if just the outside corners are cut off, you'll get a hexagon or octagon. The inside shape of a snowball block is octagon shaped, if that helps with ideas. And a kaleidoscopic block can be sort of rounded.
