What is this block called?
 

I see it as a curved bow tie. It is similar to drunkard's path, but my drunkard's path template can't be flipped to the other side like this, the center part becomes too thin. Help!

Sorry, no idea what it's name would be. Never seen this block before.

Not sure what the name is, but have seen several quilts in the last few months using the pattern. Seems like "circles" was in the name, obviously. lol Try pinterest.com for circle quilts, bow tie circles, etc.

If you want to try: take your round template and move it off the square until you have the shape, mark where you want the edges of the fabric with tape, but on the template, so that it makes your round piece or template smaller, use the guides of the tape on the edge of the square of fabric and cut your round part. Sorry if I am not explaining clearly.

You could also do what I do with applique pieces: Print the pattern the size you want, glue paper to cereal box, coke box, some kind of thin cardboard. Cut out template. Remember to add seam allowance.

I think it's a double drunkard's path or double path block. I seem to remember it from one of my books.
Yngldy's idea is good. You can mark your current template, or purchase a smaller version that will fit on your square. If you look online you will see that drunkards path templates vary widely in finished block size and how much of a bite is taken out of the square portion.

You got me looking for it and I need to run my errands,lol. I found this, no name, but like the way they used scraps for the bow tie. I will look for name in my quilt encyclopedia when I get back. Looks like an older pattern. http://qisforquilter.com/2009/09/crazy-baseball-quilt/

It looks like they used just the curved part of the template. I haven't seen this block before but I am sure these amazing QB members will come thru for you.

Apple Core or Indian Hatchet. I think that Pepper Cory did some quilts with that template more than a few years ago. More recently, Fons & Porter's magazine had a small feature on it in January/February 2016, don't recall what they called it.

I wanted to find out more about this block and used Google images with the names Apple Core or Indian Hatchet Quilt block. i don't see this block in the results https://www.google.com/search?q=Appl...HZPnCmgQsAQIQA

Thinking of you while running errands. Measure your circle template side without the seam allowance. Double it. That is the size of the square you want to make (plus outside seam allowances). Take a square ruler and draw that size on paper. Place your template on opposite corners and draw shape. If center bow is to your liking, that will be your pattern. If not, add to make the center wider. Make 2 copies. On one draw the seam allowance for the template curve. On the other, draw the seam allowances for the bow. You can adjust to make it look the way you want.

Why not cut your square an inch or three larger, then you can fold in half diagonally, place the 1/4 circle on the corner, and cut out both corners. Would that work? I've never tried the Drunkards Path before so am assuming the pieces will fit. You would have a bit of trimming to do to square up.

I feel like a stalker! Forgive me, please. I just ran across this and it is almost the pattern you are looking for. They call it Pie because of the piecing in the circle, but can be adjusted for a solid. It is the July 1, 2016 pattern. https://www.bearcreekquiltingcompany...the-week-2016/

Looked like the Melons one to me. Scroll down on the above link and see what you think.

Looks like Pie, but they appliquéd the quarter circles over the square. I have resigned myself to the fact that i will have to make my own template.... Thanks for helping me research!

I give up, sorry I steered you wrong. Now I cannot find the book I thought it was in.

I think it was with your template only starting with a much large square so that the one block had room for both circle parts. I think that I would experiment with the block size to get what I wanted. Good luck!

Leah Day lumps it into the Drunkards Path group - she has a "cheater" version here

agree. i need to go chase yellow jackets out of truck i tried to load brush into yesterday, but i've seen this block used in vintage string scrap quilt. i drew the pattern idea & worked it out. just draft your own drunkards path block templates. easy to do ...draw a square and use a compass to ensure both arcs are equal. the quilt i saw was wonderful

I used this block as a "joiner" in a NYB that did not have NYB blocks next to each other. The quilt was called "Caliope" by Karen Neary from her book Quilting Beauties. She called it a NYB center template. BTW, my quilt won 1st place & VC at my guild challenge contest.

It is an early 1900 pattern called "Steeplechase". I made this using feed sacks. I had a template and pieced my blocks. I used a template from an old, old quilt magazine. This free one is applique but you may be able to find a pieced one online.

It looks like the block in this quilt called Indian Hatchet, but remember there are some blocks that had different names that developed in different areas. Apple core that I have seen always had curved ends

Gee Gee, I think you nailed it. Good detective work.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that crazy baseball quilt!
