Is there another name for this quilt?
 

My grandmother hand pieced this top approximately 50 years ago. It was rescued and given to me to complete. Well, I've finally got it quilted. Now to make the label, bind and wash. Then send to another family member to use and love. But, I want to make sure I get the right name of the pattern on the label. Then I can finish it and pass it on. [ATTACH=CONFIG]528071[/ATTACH]

I'd say that this is a variation of the traditional pattern my book call "cake stand", but I've seen similar ones under names like "flower pot" or "flower basket".

Flower Basket is what my dam called that pattern. Whatever, it is lovely and if I were you I would have a hard time parting with it!

I agree that it's flower basket. Beautiful quilt.

Flower Basket

Beautiful quilt and it is so nice of you to finish and pass it on as a keep sake!

Flower baskets

It would be hard for me to pass it on. It's beautiful. I've always known it as a "Flower Basket" pattern.

I think it's either cake stand or flower basket. What a wonderful treasure you have been given. I think I would have a hard time parting with it. The only things I have is a pair of pillowcases that my Mother embroidered, and a dresser scarf or two, but none of the quilts she made survived, especially after being used by 7 kids.

Thank you all for your comments. Yes, it will be bittersweet to part with this quilt, but I feel honored and privileged to have the opportunity to finally finish it. It will be displayed on our guest bed until my brother and SIL come down for a visit. I love it, but it's just a thing. Nothing can replace the memories in my heart. And maybe someone else in the family can use it for another 50 years.

You did a beautiful job quilting it, and I vote of for Flower Basket, although I've heard it called by both names.

Your sentiments toward the beautiful flower basket quilt are spot on. What a nice thing for you to do.

how lovely; so good of you to finish it...
there are two different quilts online that look very close --
one is flower basket and the other is cake stand...and that is on [Univ of Nebraska] website:

It is beautiful, please be sure to put a label with "how to" wash and care for the quilt.

Nice flower basket quilt.

Actually, it's called Cake Stand... Flower Basket has a handle at the top.

This is one my Mom did over 30 years ago. I have her notes, and this one is Flower Basket. So it's a bit different than the one you have.

You have plenty of block name opinions.... I just wanted to say how beautiful it is .... and your quilting on it is just perfect for the piece. Whoever receives it will be one lucky duck.

Thank you all for your opinions and compliments. Now I can make my label, bind it and get it ready for the next leg of its journey.
