What is the name of this block?
 

A friend asked me the name of this pattern and I can't identify it, can any of you tell us what it is?

winding ways? Seems similar.

I agree winding ways

winding ways or wheel of mystery.....this link shares 3 possible methods...

Its not curvy enough for winding ways but the curve at the corners make it not the kaleidoscope either but it seems like a mixture of both patterns

I am not sure of the name but I am sure someone on the board will come up with it.

I looks like a variation on a drunkard's path. The squares look like they start out as a drunkard's path block and then the triangles on the sides are added in a similar way to the flying geese method that uses a rectangle and two squares. If I knew how to post a picture, I would draw it and post it.

Almost like hearts and gizzards, but instead of heart scoops it was made into a quarter circle....and probably easier.

Oh I see the seams now......you may be right with your interpretation....sort of a drunkards path, then peaky&spikey added to the solid side to make that triangle......

It's Key West or Winding Ways, but you can check quilterscache.com and find the block.

I don't know the name of it either. I have to say that I love the secondary patterns formed when they intersect. This is a very cool block pattern.

By the way welcome to the quilting board.

Guess what ! I was searching for a different pattern and I found the pattern to make this one in a Fons and Porter book called, "Fat Quarter Friendly", by Leisure Arts. Page 41. It is a winding ways. This pattern uses applique to make the blocks.

I think it's pretty, whatever it is!
