What a great find. As everyone has said, this is an easy recognizable pattern that one name has stuck to it: Drunkard's path. You got a great buy.

You have already gotten the answer as to what pattern it is - but I want to add - what a great find! AND - it is very pretty.

It definitely looks like a drunkards path block and it is just the way the maker assemble the blocks to get this design. I bet it will be so nice when you get it quilted. What a nice sister you are.

It is a variation of the drunkers path but I remember calling it Lovers Knot

Isn't it sad someone put that much work and money into it and it winds up in a sale, I'm glad it found a home to be loved in, Makes me sad,

Technically, it is a variation of Drunkard's Path, called Love Ring. I would not call it a Drunkard's Path, but Love Ring, which has been around for years!

Ten dollars for this king size beautifully sewn quilt! It amazes me what people consider essentially worthless!

WOW, your sister really got a good deal, as the top looks well made, and being king size to boot. There are many names, but Drunkard's Path comes to mind, and it was done in the barn raising pattern.
