I am looking for instructions on what I am calling a y-block. Its half of a half square triange and half of an hour glass block. I hope my description is understandable.
thanks for your help.

​Might it be Card Trick?

I’m not exactly sure what you’re looking for. Maybe a quarter square triangle?

I know of a quilter in another forum looking for the name of one like that. can't get a pic in here of it though. still no one has come up with the name.

I think you are describing a "Boston block". It's also known by "quarter square triangle".

Here's a tutorial you might like:

If you can't post a picture, can you post a link to a picture?

These are free Kim Diehl patterns. http://quiltingdigest.com/four-free-...rom-kim-diehl/

Edited to add: Could you draw what you think the block looks like, take a picture of it and add it to this thread? This is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
