There are so many different giraffes in quilts. It would help if you could identify the one you are thinking of. Here is a link to a Google search on giraffe quilt images:
https://www.google.com/search?q=gira...=giraffe+quilt
If you click on that, see if you can find a photo of the giraffe pattern you are looking for.
Other questions: Is it a single giraffe or a family of giraffes? Is it childlike or sophisticated? A lot of giraffe patterns are applique; should we rule out applique and stick with pieced or paper pieced?
Edit: I found this 1-day workshop for a giraffe pattern (scroll down to find the giraffe):

Edit 2: This one is a foundation pieced giraffe:
