Here is a set of 39 flowers in the Grandmother's Flower Garden pattern, #425.2 in the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns by Barbara Brackman.  Design is categorized as a Multi Patch with a six sided shape as a piece.  Pattern is also known as Honeycomb.
These are hand pieced with a center hexagon then surrounded by one round of six hexagons and one round of 12 hexagons.  Fabrics are small print cottons generally from the 1930s to 1940s.  In each block, the center and first round are solid (mainly pastels) fabrics the second round is a print and all of these hexagons are the same fabric design.  Three of the blocks add a third round of 18 muslin hexagons.
Each flower measures approximately 6 1/2" - 8" across at its widest point.  They are generally clean, although the muslin hexagons show some storage staining.
All of the smaller blocks are pictured in the collage photo.  The three larger are shown in the second photo.

When working with vintage fabric, blocks, tops or quilts, prior quilting and piecing experience is helpful. Pieces were not rotary cut and cutting templates and patterns may not have been square. Pieced items may not be flat. Vintage items may have a musty or storage odor.
