Can anyone tell me the 'official' name of this block or where I can get a pattern?

Thanks so much for looking. I have spent the past hour or so looking through all the patterns on Quilter's Cache. Having a great time, but no luck with it, either.
Lots of eye candy there!!

I just did some more research--didn't find the pattern, but found the most inspiring and beautiful story about Donna Sue Groves, the woman behind the barn quilts. If you have a moment, read this and you'll love the barn quilts even more. Sounds like you'll have help drafting the block. Here's link for the story:

Any one know a more common name for it, and especially where I can get a pattern/instructions?
Many thanks for your help ahead of time!

I've emailed her. No reply. It was from Jan 2007.
Is there a way to contact the person that posted it? Maybe she has instructions?

Well, I could, but I want the 12 blade block, and Quilter's Cache doesn't have it, just the 8 blade block. I like the 12 blades.
Thanks, though! I thought I might use a yoyo for center circle, too.

Not the Buzz saw, but that, too, is an interesting block.
