My guess is some quilter made up the pattern as she/he went along.

And upon further inspection, I finally SEE what you have all been saying. Every block is the same- just set at different turns to make the lines snake thru the quilt.

The link won't work for me either. I took out everything and went to Early women masters site and found lots of quilt listings but no snakes trail. I even searched but can't find it. I love the quilt.
