No pattern for the topper, but I can tell you how I made it..very easy.
I started with many 2.5" strips..sewed them in threes and then sixes, cut each strip set Into 2.5" units and then sewed six of these together to make a 12.5" blocks..I used three of those for this topper. From the cream fabric I cut two 9.5" squares( machine embroidered them here) and cut each on the diagonal to get four triangles. Then sew these to one of the 12.5" squares like the picture shows to make a square in a square. Now take the two left stripped squares and sew a one inch strip of fabric to all four sides( to make them large enough and create a frame) then cut these bordered strip squares on the diagonal to make four stripped triangles. Again sew these to create a big square in a square. Trim and Done. Hope this makes sense. Let me know if something isn't clear.

Bargello quilts use to be my favorites, but now I am leaning toward the French Braid quilts. Yours is beautiful. Our quilt guild made one for our raffle and it was also beautiful. You did a great job of selecting the colors. Happy Holiday!
