I am using this block in a row-by-row exchange and I need to know the name of it. Originally I was planning to make a different block and cut out the pieces and made half-square triangels - bottom line - I didn't like the block so I started rearranging the pieces and came up with this pinwheel block. It's not entirely pinwheels though and I've looked to see if I could find the block anywhere else that is exactly like this one. No luck so far. Does it look familiar to anyone else? I need to include a note about the block I made and would like to give it it's proper name. Thank you for any help you can provide!
Call it a triple pinwheel by Cathie and let it go. If you do find names, you'll more than likely find 5 or so, then you'll have to choose.

I'd call it pinwheel banner. I love the idea - if you change the solid corners you'd get a really interesting pinwheel banner across the quilt. You might consider changing it like this:

My first thought was to take out the blue solid corner blocks and replace them with the other (peach?) fabric. Then you would have a block with a strong diagonal that could be arranged to zigzag in rows either down the quilt or across the quilt.

I've decided to call it Pinwheels for Lauren. If I were not making the block for Lauren's quilt I wouldn't have been fooling around with it to begin with! So here's to Lauren and a new block!
