and the name is...

SQUINCH! Thanks to all who contributed here and on Etsy. Artmixter suggested the name and I think it is perfect!

According to the free online dictionary, a squinch is "A structure, such as a section of vaulting or corbeling, set diagonally across the interior angle between two walls to provide a transition from a square to a polygonal or more nearly circular base on which to construct a dome."

So here it is, the listing for the first ever thread squinch: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16919246

To tell you the absolute truth, I thought I'd made the word 'squinch' up!!! I'm delighted that it's a real word, as I really did think it fitted your creation beautifully!
