I flat out found it!
http://www.scrapquilts.com/basket.html through step three ... there is no pedestal on the block in your picture ...
and, I am thinking that if you look really closely at the contrast areas, there may be a secondary block or two ... I can see an hour glass block created by the bases of the basket being sewn together ... or it may just completely be this basket ...
and,! You helped me find a new scrap site! Good job! <g>
