It looks like a Jacobs Ladder to me too but the color placement and fabric line makes it interesting. I have made several and they are easy, peasy but they do get boring after making 40 some blocks. This one is attractive to me because of the batiks used in the pattern. Of course any fabric would work. Dive in with your scraps but I could suggest a common background for all of the blocks. Have fun and we will look for your beautiful end result right here here!.
I may have just found the graduation quilt for a nephew named Jacob. Thank you!
