I'm also in the .......looks-very-Amish-traditional-to-me camp!
Definitely a normal Churn Dash or Hole in the Barn Door pattern and layout and colour placement.
The sashings being black, are allowing the blocks to seemingly float, instead of being bordered up with a sashing.
Soooooooo SeasideQuilter ... what is it that you see as "off"???????

The other was Churn Dash.
Also known as Hole In The Barn Door.
A quick Google and you will soon have so many possibilities that you will be confused.
Here's two of my renditions on the Churn Dash ............

I really like it, but when I look at it, the large black squares seem too big to me. but I don't know much for sure,
but is there a way to make the black squares a little smaller, the blue triangles a little larger so they completely surround the black ones? then the blue will separate a little, the black won't run together with the sashing black squares? I know this might be impossible. I just like to toss out my ideas. I am just learning so I like to try. Thank you Rachel

The red and blue look sort of muted to me. Not sure if it's the picture of if they used slightly off-primary colored fabrics. When I think Amish I think brighter colors. (But I've never been to Amish country so what do I know!!? LOL)
But I like it, black sashing & all.

Where did those "samples" come from? I'm sorry, but I would not waste my time, effort or fabric on copying that first one.....although Amish quilts are simple, there is a subtle beauty and near perfection about them...not so with that first one...and really the second one, although called Amish, I don't think reflects that design much either.......JMHO
