Calling all pattern experts.....
 

While I was in church last week (trying to pay attention LOL) a woman in the pew ahead of me had a stunning quilted jacket (just done with quilting thread like a whole cloth quilt but with a center medallion on the back) with a pattern done like this. I'm sure it was a manufactured jacket. It reminded me of looking down on a chair seat that had been caned. Can this be replicated in a pattern without using a bunch of HSTs or is there already one in existence? It was fascinating to me with the appearance of woven strips, similar to a garden trellis but more complicated. Without whipping out my pen in church during the sermon, I was trying to memorize it in my "pea brain" until I got home LOL There is inspiration everywhere, right? Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks. The X symbolizes the edge of the block.

Garden twist is sort of similar...

It certainly looks like caning.

this was my thought, too

Another name that is the garden twist or similar to it http://www.quiltwoman.com/Around-The...t-Pattern.aspx so often I've seen these names missed up. Anyway, maybe this can help you out somewhat.

Senior moment. I have seen this pattern before but I just can't recall where.

She was right in front of you. I would have asked, unless she sprinted out the door at the end of the service.

If it was pieced, I would have, but it was done totally in an outline with thread............darn.

I'd say your little "pea brain" did just fine! I couldn't have sketched that out by memory without twisting it all up. Each block would be another variation, lol! Garden Twist is what came to my mind, too. I know it's around, so you should be able to find it. Good luck!

I love the design. I can see it done with square and half squares but in thread..............wow many, many starts and stops. I will be watching this post for more ideas. Thanks.
