The Mystery Pattern
Hi All,
Have you ever seen a quilt online and then found yourself spending endless hours googling, pintresting in an attempt to track down a pattern? That's what happened to me. My daughter's graduating and I wanted to send her off with a blanket. It's taken me all year to find the right pattern. When I stumbled on the perfect pattern - the must have - the only pattern that will do - it turns out it's probably from 2010-12. I tracked down the maker of this quilt - and the company who designed this quilt patterns but neither of them have it any more. I have even done google image searches. And searched under stripped quilts<attachment></attachment> galore.
I've search the www high and low and I've flipped through ever quilting book at the library to no avail. I was wondering if anyone might have seen a pattern like this? Or have an idea of where else I might turn? Or if it has a specific name that I might use to search for it more effectively. I've attached the image I first found.

Hi & welcome to the board. I'm a bit confused. You say you tracked down the maker of the quilt & the designer of the pattern, but you don't know the name?
To be honest, it looks like a pieced quilt back where they used left over pieces from a quilt.
It should be easy to duplicate. The strips look pieced with random sized patches. Decide on the width of the narrow pieced strip (probably 2 or 3 inches). The strip on the right looks to be 3X the narrow strip (so 6 or 9") and the wide center strip is 4X (8 or 12) the background strips separating the 3 pieced columns are the same width as the narrow pieced band. Add strips of the background fabric to make it the width you want.

Sorry you spent so much futile time on it! If you could decide on any measurement that you'd like for even one of the pieces, the rest should be easy to figure out. With that measurement quite a few of us would be willing to draw out the pattern for you!
Oh, thanks PP! You beat me to it!

Agree with the others ...
I'll add that it all looks pretty random, so all you need to do is to decide how wide you would like each of the columns and then just sew together a bunch of fabrics io random sizings until you have the length you want that column to be.
Then use your background fabric to join the pieced columns together.

Thanks for responding. It was Oh Franson! And they just responded that it was old and they no longer had it.

You guys are right - I'm really bad at math and in part I am cutting up pieces of the quilt I made my daughter when she was a baby. (It was accidentally ruined so I need to get this right the first time.) I am nervous that'll cut the blocks the wrong size and then they won't be quite as eye catching. Maybe I'm putting too much thought in this. I have other fabrics that I am going to incorporate as well.
