That, or you could add a seam down the center of the large tan pieces. This would make it a 9 patch and the corners would be made of half square triangles.

I agree. That's the way the block is usually sewn.

Churn Dash? or center of a Balkan Puzzle block or Whirlpool block? I agree with Jan, you are missing the 8 lines to divide this up into 16 squares. I prefer handling HST's and squares vs. triangles. You could also do the rectangle with the square sewn on at the angle, press, and trim off at 1/4".
Here is a downloadable tutorial on the Whirlpool block that shows each step:

I'd was going to suggest Half Square Triangles, but Jan in VA already did AND provided the graph for you.

This looks so much easier

Jenny Doan from Missouri Star Quilting has a tutorial on the churn dash block. She keeps it simple when she does tutorials.

Thanks for the drawn example. I know it will help a lot of newer quilters. Great job.

I agree with Jan - but I would make it even simpler. I would do the HSTs in the corner and on the
rectangles do one triangular corner. Although I do "Y" seams - they are n ot a favorite. Here is the EQ block redrawn as I would do it
