there are a few like this in the 'French Braid' books, also, Jinny Beyer has table runner patterns like this- I have *go-to* table runner called the 'Reversible Table Runner' that also sounds like this- you start with a 9 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangle in the center- then using 3 1/2" x 9 1/2" strips you *weave/braid* strips out from the center in both directions- . you can either trim off all the points along the sides and just leave the end points, or you can leave the points.
