what is the name of this block?

While at a retreat, I was working with a box of scraps. I made HSTs an only came up with 20 blocks. To make them into a more useful amount for a donation quilt, I added another triangle to each to make them look like this:

l checked " Quilters Cache". Found it on page 2 named as " pinwheel" Note ... it is a part of 4 units rotated to form a 3 tone pinwheel block.
|
Rhonda - from this board - called the unit "Boston Block".

I’ve always thought I called a quarter square triangle block.
|
I agree with tallchick. It's a quarter square triangle variation. It can be used in many combinations, including the pinwheel block that stitch678 found.
|
I believe Deb Tucker calls it a 'combination unit.'
|
wow, lots of possibilities... thanks for all the input
|
A square made from one HST and two QSTs - which is a bit cumbersome to say!
1 S = 1 HST + 2 QST Many years ago Quilter's Newsletter magazine had an article about that unit. Then they showed variations of how to use that unit. I do not remember what it was called in that article. |
I think it's called a 3/4 triangle square block.
|
Lots of good feedback. All the names sound possible.
