Looks like a DWR template to me without the rings just the center and melons. Very cool.

I agree. Starts with an uneven nine patch block which is then cut as a rob Rob to pay Paul block. I made my own version from a photo on the cover of Quilters Newsletter circa 2000.

Yes, you are so correct dunster. There are so many different names for the same blocks. I was surprised I couldn't find it in Blockbase.
