i think it is a unique quilt made by a dauntingly original thinker. Name it anything you want!
I agree that it very well could have been made continuously as the quilter wanted without published pattern. Quilters used to work that way often. Many were working in isolation with little contact with other quilters besides the few who lived near them. There also used to be patterns in the local newspapers. I'm not sure any of those were ever published anywhere else.
