Sounds like a sting quilt to me. Bonnie Hunter has a neat pattern called Fandango that I thought was a free pattern but I just checked and it is not. If you haven't, do check out the free patterns on Quiltville.com perhaps another pattern will catch you eye.
If you search "Fandango quilt pattern" you will find pictures. It is the one that makes a slight fan, each block going in a different direction either N/S or E/W.
