No actually there isn't a pattern. I found a picture of a map that had all the states outline and blew it up 200x's the actual size. I used Wonder Under and hand appliqued everything.(this was before I had a sewing machine) I tried to do each state with something that the state was known for. North Carolina=the curse of the dogwoods. If the bloom before the final 4 basketball tournament, the Tarheel will loose, lol. VA--Cardinals, Wisc--Cows for cheese, etc... Then I spread out the patches and sewed them on and hand quilted everything.
I don't have a picture of the smaller version I had done for the son of a friend of mine. After he passed his girlfriend asked me if there was something I could do with the patches he had collected of his travels around the US.
