Is there another name for this?
This pattern looks so, so familiar, and wonder if it is the name that is throwing me off? Is there another, traditional name for it? Is the basic block a common beginner paper-piecing patter? Is that where I saw it? Has anyone made this pattern or similar (under a different name?) and if so, I would really like to see them! Thank you! (The pattern called"Zircon Chrystals" is a bit down the page http://www.quiltscapesquilting.com/patterns.php ).

I think yngldy is right, it's the kaleidoscope. the maltese cross looks like the kaleidoscope as the center of a square in a square. here's a pretty scrappy http://www.frommarti.com/show_K_happy.shtml

per EQ block base, crossed canoes is made with similar quarter blocks, but the points of the trianges are pointed out instead of in on the 4 patches that make up the block. and the triangles are skinnier to make them look more like canoes.

Hi everyone. I think the name of the block is Winding Ways or Wheel of Mystery. The pieces are curved, where the kaleidoscope block is straight. There are acrylic templates on the market for this.
