Name of this block?
3 Attachment(s)
I have a vintage/antique quilt that I love. Its a very simple block but I can't seem to find the name of the block. One 12" block is made up of four sections. Each section is a square surrounded by four wonky triangles. Here are pictures of three blocks. Can someone tell me the name of the block? Thanks for looking.

wonky square???

Today we would call that wonky square, or dancing square, but back when it was made it probably had another name.
I thought we modern quilters invented the wonky setting.... very impressive that it was done way back then. |

Looked it up for you. It is called The Radio Windmill, KC Star 10/22/41, or Windmill, Nancy Cabot from Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns. I kind of like the wonky square name myself.

It is so funny that when you see something, all of a sudden you see it everywhere! Saw this in my emails today: https://kathleenquilts.com/2017/06/21/dixon-quilt/
