It's 6x6, but (easily) constructed as 1.5, 1, 1, 1, 1.5.
Can't say I'm crazy about those salmon colors, but I do like the monochromatic coloring.

Thanks for sharing this,
The center 9 patch is a variant on Prairie Flower (square in a square added) I suspect the maker did as I often do and started with that basic block and played with it.
Using a 4" unit size, I think this would make a very nice wall hanging or wheelchair lap quilt.

Lois, a good quilt program (I much prefer Quilt Pro) is a great way to save patterns you like and wonderful for auditioning fabrics and colors without any fabric waste. The process of entering patterns also teaches one a huge amount about quilt design.

I have made this block before in the 90s. Funny how I can remember this but not what I did last week! Anyway, looked up my Thimbleberries pattern and is a 12.5 finished block called 'Painted Daisy' I only made one as the quilt was a flower sampler.
