I don't think of Robbing Peter to Pay Paul as a single block style. I see it as reversing fabrics in parts of the block so that it has the effect of taking a patch from one block and moving it to another.
The shape in the block is a melon (or orange peel). Without the frame, four melons with center points together would be called melon patch. The pictures show how I see the block and quilt construction.
