I'm not sure I understand the question, but if I do, this sounds like the Jelly Roll Race pattern by Donna Jordan. You can see it on YouTube. Or you can get the pattern free on her website: Jordan Fabrics. It's an adjustable size Jelly Roll Race pattern, and the strips are vertically placed within the length of the quilt, not horizontally placed. It's an easy and very attractive pattern, one I plan to try one of these days.
