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.

You could call it 'Pinwheels Three' or 'Pinwheels on Parade'. Great block! Love the third pinwheel made from the use of two. Or 'CathieB Pinwheel Three'

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:

That is cool how it plays with your eyes and you see 2 pinwheels then 3. What fun!

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 think you should make four of the blocks and see what you think of the secondary pattern/design that develops.

This is wonderful - I think you just came up with your own original design! What fun...

Boy do I feel dumb! I misread your post. I thought you were wondering how to make this block? I agree with everyone else-it's your block, you name it!!

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!
