Anyone know this pattern?

I know this looks simple, but nothing geometric is simple for me! Someone has asked me to make her this pattern, and it is not in my files. Anyone recognize it?

Have you ever seen a JFIF photo format?

Would you ever buy a machine without a dealer near?

I go back and forth constantly about whether I need one better sewing machine instead of the 3 or 4 so-so ones I already have. Specifically, I am looking at the Juki HZL-DX7, but there are no Juki...
