It looks a little like "Hole in the Barn Door" or "Churn Dash" to me.

I made that for a birthday block. The pattern I used called it Crow's Nest. It is very close to Churn Dash, except the stripes are 3 colors instead of 2.

It's real name is Golden Gate. It's an old block pattern I believe. http://www.blockcentral.com/goldengate.shtml It's also in the Eleanor Burns book Pioneer Sampler http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0922...tu#reader-link (click on 'excerpt)
