Is there a pattern available for this?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]572556[/ATTACH] A friend of mine made these placemats years ago through a class. I'd like to make a table runner, but I don't have the name to search for since she can't find her pattern. (Have done a search here and on Pinterest for snowball quilt, but haven't found any that were placed on point.)
As a new quilter, I feel comfortable recreating the 9-patch and snowballs, but would rather not have to figure out for the outsides. Does anyone know if a pattern for this (or something very similar) is available?? Thanks very much for any help!

Check Jenny Doan MSQC videos. I saw one earlier and this reminded me of it.

Looks like snow balls and nine patches. It is pretty!

Agreed, it is 6 9P blocks with two snowball blocks set on point and the setting triangles had a small triangle pieced on the ends to complete the look of the interlocking squares.

Yes, it's the outside (setting?) triangles I was hoping not to have to figure out. And I'm sure it would go so much faster if I had the instructions. (Have never made a snowball - had expected to cut appropriate size triangle and sew them on inner squares (meaning I would cut first and then sew on bias which apparently can be problematic), but lately have seen them done by placing squares on corner(s), and sewing from corner to corner. That makes me feel like I'd be wasting fabric, though. ;)

Another pattern is called "Meadow" by Tara Faughnan. Free PDF download.

Should be easy to draft.

A 2 1/2" square doesn't waste much fabric and, IMO, it's the only way to have it come out nicely. If you haven't done a snowball, be sure to mark the diagonal line and sew carefully. My first 9 patch/snowball was off where the diagonal seam met the seam in the 9 patch. Not awful, but disappointing. I had no pattern and it was an early quilt, so I have gotten over it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]572579[/ATTACH] It was a prayer quilt and I'm sure the recipient didn't notice.
