Can't help with an alternative name, Karen; but I can deepen the puzzle!
I looked in my Barbara Brackman encyclopaedia for Oregon Trail block and
the ones I found under that name were nothing at all like the one you
showed us? These were all based on Drunkard's Path.

If I had time, I would go through her book to find the one you are
questioning. But, perhaps it isn't a traditional block at all?

It's a lovely block - I do like it a lot!

He reaches for his trusty 5500 Quilt block design book and finds! Page
21, #162, Nine Patch based block called, "Mrs Bryan's Choice". The
colors are different than those shown in your example, of course, and
there is a slight difference in positioning of the color blocks, but
it is pretty close. Hope this helps.

I've seen that book but never bought it. I found it online with a very large
chunk of preview pages. What a great resource! I search through what they
showed and If you go further into that section you'll find a pattern called
Maple Leaf (I have no idea why it's called that!) on page 34 #359. The only
difference to the Oregon Trail block is the outside corner squares of the 4
patches and the flying geese blocks are pointed in rather than out.http://books.google.com/books?id=fUg...q=359+Maple+Le...

I'm sure there's an exact match out there somewhere.

I think the rule is; if you change one element of any block, you can
name it anything you want. Just kidding! There are many variations of
names for the same thing, I have found. I think it depends on the time
frame for the popularity, of the block, and the regional preference.

I'm using that block now for a king-sized summer weight quilt, but
unfortunately, I only know it by the name you already have.
