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. |
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...

it looks like a pinwheel. i like it whatever you name it
|
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!
