I think the vintage block is likely called nosegay as Janey found out, but Judy Laquidara apparently put it in a more modern pattern called Topsy Turvy Nine Patch. Sometimes it takes a village (or a bunch of quilters with access to the internet) to put all the pieces together.

There are so many useful replies here. What a great community! Thank you for all of the resources and information. I'm attaching a couple of other pictures so you can see the fabrics included. I'd love to date it by fabric if anyone recognizes one.

That is what got me looking for nosegay. I tried an image search and found another with 9 patch on etsy, but it was a full quilt and unavailable item which didn't have a 'view original' listing. https://www.etsy.com/listing/8355536...h-basket-quilt

I found the block used in a project called Floral Bouquet by Chris Carlson in a book I have. The hardcover book was published in 1998 and is titled Easy Nine-Patch Quilting. It’s listed as a pretty miniature quilt as the block size is 3 inches! I’m sure you can resize it easily from the last picture I have included. If not maybe someone here with a design program can figure the sizes out for US. -lol- I’m too tired today.
