Smile looking for a quilt picture, name or information

I recently spotted a very distinctive quilt picture here on the board or somewhere on the internet, Now I'm ready to start cutting and sewing and cannot find it among my "saved or favorites". I am in hopes you wonderful quilters can help me out.
It was a flannel quilt made up of half square and quarter square triangles.What made it special was that the border was inside a couple of rows of triangles. Does that make sense? There were one or two rows of triangles from the outside edge and then a solid border around the rest of the triangles that made up the center of the quilt. As I remember it was rich dark colors and fairly large in size.
Thank you in advance or your help.

I know this isn't what you want but does it look like this design? Is this what you mean by an inside border?

I spent a bit of time looking at quilts on the web, nothing comes up that you describe. Making triangles as your outer border isn't hard, I have done it a couple of times. The key is to make those borders first before doing a final trim of the plain border to the inside. I would also put a small 1 1/2 inch border to the outside to tack my binding to. You might look up Seminole borders and see if something like that appeals to you. I did one once and it came out beautiful. Lots of connected diamonds on point as my border. For your main quilt look up "Homeward Bound" on the web. There are several patterns, most seem to be fitting with warm Flannel fabric in dark manly colors. tim in san jose

I did advance search using quarter triangles and could not find it. Sorry. If I see a quilt I like, I print it out on my printer and make sure I write the internet address so I can refer to it later. Sometimes I send myself an email with the info.

That's why I pin quilts I love: the url is included in the pin. Clicking takes you back to the original.

I hope you find the quilt you are looking for.
