My thoughts exactly! Snowballing the red squares would make quick work of this block!

Paper piecing the corner blocks would work as well. Will try the block out in EQ7.

I am still searching, such a beautiful block needs its own name?

Does anyone know the name of this block? Thanks.
Jenny Doan calls it Quatrefoil in the new issue of Block magazine, but her corners are 4 patches. Also her "petals" are made by snowballing the top two corners. That wastes a little more fabric, but it looks nicer.

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.

Also looks like a variation of Prairie Flower.

It looks like a version of the Churn Dash block to me!

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 ...
I will watch this thread for your answer. Thank you for sharing.

I don't know the name, but I really like it.
