I think you maybe looking for either “wonky blocks” or “yellow brick road”?

Has anyone tried this pattern with other fabric than batiks?

Are you referring to 'boxed squares'?
Here's one site with instructions and a couple non-batik examples:

you can also search the pictures forum on this board for other examples.
Pretty versatile pattern. You can use the same width strips for all the pieces (jelly roll friendly), or make the center larger or smaller for a different look.
