Thanks, everyone. I think that it is a Kaleidascope with an added circle.

It's called Happy Hexagons. I started one from a book but have given the book and project to a friend's mother to finish...

I stand corrected..lol..wasn't thinking of the applique part of it..I did find an old one called "Merry-go-Round" and is pieced..still not exact..this is fun..gives me something to do..keeps my brain working..lol..!!

A lot of blocks have multiple names. This looks like a kaleidoscope block to me, and the circles may be added to hide the place where all those points should come together, but seldom do.

That looks just like the old Field of Poppies or Poppy Fields, something like that...

How can it be a Hexagon anything when it has eight sides? lol

I agree with Kaleidoscope with an applique center to hide all the seams meeting in the center! Might not even have a center seam.

Sneaky, but resourceful. :-)
