I looked in Barbara Brackman's book - and the closest thing I saw to your layout was something called "Broken Windows" - pattern number 1670 in her book.

The difference is that where you have four HST units in the center - the book has a plain square.

it's a nice layout - my eyes keep moving, but it's still restful.

It reminds me of the prisms in a lighthouse beacon. I am sorry but I am no help with the actual title of the pattern.

I can't help with the name, either, but I love the colour and layout. It's going to be a beauty when it's finished.

Not a final arrangement yet. Just trying to get as many HST as I need up there. Thanks for any help about the name.

I think it is a variation of "Corn and Beans".

I really love it. It may not have a name - - - yet. You name it.

I can see that the "block" could be made with a center square with triangles (or four HSTs), then two flying geese on each side. Then the corner squares would have to be made with HSTs. That would put a dark square in the middle and when the blocks are put together there would be a secondary design with a light square in the center.

It looks a little bit like a pattern called Radiant, but made with half square triangles.

I think it's pretty, no matter what the name. I would go with either Corn & Beans, or Ocean Waves as a variation of one of them.

I don't know the name, but it's going to be a beauty. What a lot of HSTs!

I have no idea about the name but I like it. I like all the secondary designs present. Keep up the good work!

Incredibly, my block a day perpetual quilt calendar has this particular block for August 1st, and they call it "Corn and Beans". I'm just reading your post a few days late, and yesterday I would have had no idea.
