It's not a dresden plate because other than that little circle, it's pieced, not appliqued, and there aren't any curves other than the circle. I agree with the pp who said kaleidoscope with the circle added.

At first glance I was sure that it was a Dresden Plate (without the folded ends to create the points), but after looking at it a little more it does look like an "un-kaleidoscoped" kaleidoscope block. For a while I thought kaleidoscopes were a fairly new technique, I've learned differently...it's possible your grandmother could have called it something else though. It kind of looks like a 'buggy wheel' block or whatever that's called too. :) Thanks for sharing!
