Default Sochi Quiltish Design

We watch a lot of the Olympics and I'm fascinated with the signature design used in many venues that looks like a diamond block quilt pattern. It's shades of blue in the figure skating rink, and reds and multicolors in the snowboarding area. My daughter had a friend from Russia visiting in November and they came to our house for Thanksgiving. The woman brought me two dish towels that are Sochi souvenirs, made in that pattern. I'd love to learn more about its origin. Must be some kind of folk pattern. Are there many quilters in Russia? Will have to look it up.
