A new quilter has her mother's and grandmother's UFO's out of feed sacks. My bee could identify several blocks, tree of life, flower garden ect. But this one was a new one. The blocks didn't come together till it was photographed, does anyone know the name of it?[ATTACH=CONFIG]467029[/ATTACH]

Looks like a 3-D pinwheel.

Well, I could NOT find this exact setting in Blockbase. Definitely is an eight pointed star.

It looks to me like a variation of Flyfoot.

Flyfoot was my first thought, but I'm no expert!

I have no idea what he block is called but I have seen the pink fabric in my Grandmother's stash.

Looks like jack in the box....gone a little wonky!

Our bee guessed that it was one of the one's out of the newspaper. I can find several that are so close. What throws it off are the stitching lines, they are so different from today's blocks that we knew it had to be pieced together for a larger block. Thanks for the guesses, y'all, it's still a mystery.

Is there a block callled Flying Dutchman? Somehow that rings a bell with me.

I don't know but it is different but nice.

I had a whole box of old blocks like this and marvel at the fabric combinations. Definitely scrappy.

It looks like a Rolling Star to me, just cut in half.

I thought this looked like one of the Farmers Wife blocks but it is not. Very similar but not a match. I drew the block in EQ. It seems to be four 3 inch blocks together. Taking the fabric prints out may make it easier to identify.
