    Default Does this log cabin variation have a name?

    I drafted up this block and made a test piece that I like and am now planning out a quilt using it. I tried to see if this block has a traditional name, but a google search of "pinwheel log cabin" didn't bring up anything. Does anyone recognize the block and know if it has a source?

    Thanks a lot!

    I really like this block. It reminds me of old fashioned rick rack. Please post a photo of the finished product.

    Don't recognize it. Looks like the corners of four blocks will make black pinwheels when they come together.

    I haven't seen this before, it's really nice. As GingerK said, be sure and post the finished version.

    Never seen that block before either.

    I like the name you gave it "pinwheel log cabin"
