Help need a name

I found 8 of these blocks at a garage sale, but would like 9 to make square sit upon quilt. I've looked a few places, but can't find its name or the pattern. My next step is to see if any of you are better at finding things than me, which is a given I'm sure.

Or, you could put an entirely different middle block, hand embroidered flowers if you do hand work, or an applique of flowers cut from a fabric.

Isn't that block called Cake stand.

I believe it's called the Flower Pot block. Here's a link...edited to add that it's not the flower pot but very similar.

Looks like you got all the answers you need.

I think it is Flower basket.

Very nice blocks and what a great find. Looks like someone has found the pattern for you-how wonderful is that. Please share with us when you get another block done and get a finished project. No pressure!! LOL

Auntie M 05-19-2017 05:24 PM

Thanks all, I knew I could count on your expertise. Now to adjust the patterns up to a 13 in. block....aargh math. This is the next project on the pile.

Fortunate find! Of course, you now see how many different names the same block might have,

carolynjo 05-20-2017 06:31 AM

I, too, think it is cactus basket.
