What's the name of this pattern?
 

I can't for the life of me remember, know I've seen it many times. I have about a dozen yards of blue batiks, 1 yard each, and going to make a quilt for a co-worker and his wife... they like blue.

Looks to me that it's a Blooming Nine Patch ... B9P for short!

Yep blooming nine the pattern is in a book

"tradition with a twist" is the name of the book.

Actually it is a blooming 4 patch!

Thank you!

pam got it right

I was about to agree with you, then took another look .... it's BOTH!
B9P towards the centre ... the switches to B4P further out.

It reminds me of a quilt called Boston Common they can be made any size here is a link to some larger ones

Yes very similar effects ... though for the Boston Commons, it is all squares of fabric, sewn together. Whereas for the B9P/B4P 9Ps/4Ps are made and sewn as blocks into the design.
