Don't know the name of the pattern, but Tartan seems to have nailed it. Love patterns that create illusions. I have a book of patterns that do that and I will take a look and let you know if I find anything.

My impression, from her obvious hands-up-objection, is that she may not have wanted a photo made of the quilt. But that's just a guess.

Everyone is correct. It's a string quilt made by sewing strips onto a foundation like newsprint, then cut to size with a 60 degree triangle ruler. The different shades of one color are giving it the 3-D effect. My church quilting group made the strings in just scrappy fabrics, but you still get a slight 3-D effect, just not to the degree you get when you use the different shades from light to dark. I'm thinking you could sew long strips together of what looks like six colors going from light to dark. Then, take your 60 degree ruler and cut one, flip and cut another, flip and cut the third and so on. Then, the way you assemble them, is what gives this effect. Focus on where the light to dark is pointing to see how to sew them together.

Here is the Wood site: http://youtu.be/RcL9AlFg0VM. It's called braided borders and she pushes her ruler but you don't really need it.

The quilt is gorgeous, I can see why you would want to make it. Very graphic in black and white, but could be made in other colors, although the black and white is awesome. I think Tartan has the solution, you might try just a very short strip set and see what develops.
