This is what I found doing a quick search - more could come up later. My mother told me that 'paper bag quilts' or 'brown bag quilts' often refer to the process. It's using most any scrappy pattern & you simply pull the fabric pieces out of the bag in an effort to not get too matchy-matchy, if you know what I mean. Pulling from the bag gives you a more random look to the quilt.
THis may or may not be what you're looking for, but I'll keep looking online for anything else that answers to 'Paper bag quilt'!
