I can't remember the pattern name though it is common, butI jusst recently used men's shirts to cut 6" squares, cut them in half diagonally, and then sewed back together a dark and a light piece. Sewed all squares together turned in the same direction. Saw one like this in Pottery Barn magazine. It was simple but definitely had the pieced quilt look; turned out great. My friend called it boats after the sailboats pattern.
Just saw the pattern on MaryStoaks avatar pic.
