Thread: Help! Do you know the name of this pattern?

I don't know either, but looks too hard for me!

This is close to it: http://quiltwoman.com/curls-and-swir...t-pattern.aspx

I remember seeing it as "French Twist" in Quilters Newsletter ca. 2004-2005.

Same idea as the quilt in Qbee's post.

It's essentially a charm quilt in that it's only ONE shape - you can make it with mylar template, freezer paper, your choice.
The different fabrics - two or three per block - are placed on a background square (the 4th color).
Machine applique, needle turn, whatever you want.

IIRC, the French Twist name was because the author (a well know quilter) used their collection of French fabrics acquired during a trip to Paris.

See Susan Briscoe's reply to this blogpost for more info. Seems it was April 2004. My memory isn't as pathetic as I thought.

Also, a link to an ARCO template - http://www.ardcotemplates.com/yyw.shtml
You can trace the shape and them make it any size you want.

I know it as "Yin Yang". Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=yin+...A6rIiwLt9YH4Aw
