Do you know if this is a real quilt, or the name of the block?

That block doesn't seem to be hard to do. I have EQ5, so I might try to do it in there first, then stitch a sample block. I'll post here about it, but I'm going away for 10 days, so I'll do it when I return home.

This looks like a Rebecca Barker Quiltscapes puzzle. She takes quilt blocks and makes paintings which are then turned in to quilts and other things. Usually the painting has something to do with the name of the block.
You can check her site here:

I love her work-she is phenomenal!

EDITED: Sorry I did not see the post of the previous folks finding her information!
This is directly from the website
"Rebecca is currently working on this series of paintings she dubs "QUILTSCAPES." The title of the quilt pattern is depicted in the picture. For example, the Log Cabin Quilt has a log cabin in the background. Rebecca paints her QUILTSCAPES in acrylic on board (masonite). The patterns come from quilt history books and she attends quilt shows. Her style is realistic with clean, clear colors and a sensitivity to composition and texture."

I'm pretty sure it is Rebecca Barker's work. I just ordered one of her mouse pads for my mouse (duh) and it was from Connecting Threads.
Ordered some of their thread too as it is on sale.
Anyway, I will double check and get back to you.
Yep, I'm pretty sure it is Rebecca Barkers. Connecting Threads has Grandmothers Flower Garden in a mouse pad and one puzzle I think is hers and some notecards in their gift section.
