I have a book, which I cannot find at the moment, that is based on the component parts of this block. Creative Grids has a Cats Cradle ruler and a video for making the corner triangle blocks from rectangles and squares. This is much easier and more accurate than piecing individual triangles to the squares. The book was published by Atkinson Designs but it apparently out of print.

Love this block, whatever it is called. I do have a comment, though. When using striped fabric, I would make the striped fabric piece 4.5 by 4.5 and attach triangles to the corners. This will keep a nice flow for the stripes.

I can't help you with the name but I sure like it. I am not sure if it is the block or choice of fabrics that give it movement. I think maybe the fabric ...
