Good job!
Your pattern almost looks like nosegay, doesn't it? or Tulip something ... or ... someone was trying to sell you a new ruler? (I am such a cynic! LOL)
The question about the title of the block is an interesting one, though, because how DOES one go about finding the name of a quilt block?
I mean! I have books with THOUSAND blocks and not all the blocks are in there, and look at Quilter's Cache ... has anyone ever known how many blocks Marcia Hohn has provided from both traditional, historical and her OWN design?
Maybe a hint as in: It is x-amount of squares by x-amount of squares ... or looking under quarter square patterns?
I am not a very good researcher <g> ... but, sometimes, I can point people in the direction they can go!

Have you checked in Eleanor Burns' book "Stars Across America"?
and, I am thinking ... maybe in that GRandma's Big Book of Blocks I might find it ... I will go look before I go to bed, and if I find something in my stuff, I will bring it in to the shop tomorrow ... then, we will share it with the board ... then LOTS of people will know what you know! LOL
