Great example of her picture and I so understand your quote, tesspug.......

Try a search for Turning Twenty patterns & check out books #2 & 3. They are a little more involved than
the 1st Turning Twenty but do have a square or rect. that would work for embroidery.

I think rather than thinking of it as in blocks like a traditional quilt you could peace it in sections and then sew it together and use the embroidery blocks on top of the quilt

If this is a catalog picture, there may be no specific block.

I would have to agree. YOu can look and see where some are definite blocks, then small pieces were added to say " fill in the blanks." This looks like the way I like to make up quilts I call it DAUG. (design as us go ). Good luck. I think if you at least grasp the concept she would like it.

Check out this book by the Turning Twenty ladies:

Not exactly the same but close.

Check some Swirly Girls patterns...they have several that are similar.

try this one http://www.beverlys.com/hoffman-free...e-pattern.html I was trying to the "Fat Quarter Shuffle" pattern and came across this one. Take a look.

This is book 3 of Turning Twenty, "Turning Twenty Around the Block". This is probably more suited as it is designed for both horizontal and vertical embroidery designs.
