there are a couple books of Seminole quilt patterns- the one i have is:
Simply Seminole by Dorothy Hanisko...techniques & designs in quilt making- Easy strip piecing, Quick cutting, Stunning designs (that's what is written on the front cover)
the book has 36 Seminole band designs & 13 colorful quilts.

Too funny! Now you can finish that coffee in peace and take off the rest of the day.

Great job finding all those patterns for me. Never thought of adding Southwest to my search.

Cozy Quilt Designs has one called Sky Lantern. I had a wall hanging pattern from years ago with a Southwestern name, but the same design.

Go to Quilt in a Day and look at Dream Catcher. It would make a great center medallion and you could use Seminole borders around it.

And it's a free pattern.

Here is one I just finished. Look at the pattern not the material. Mine is just a scrappy. If you did this with SW colors it would be fab.

I totally agree with this - the book has several patterns that look like Native rugs.

Do a search for Seminole-type quilt patterns. I'm sure you'll find something to suit you.

I'm still in the process of making a trip around the world with southwest/native american type fabrics, another pattern you could use is the one they call the star, lone star or bethlehem star using again southwest/native american fabrics.

The magic was using the the word "southwest" along with any other quilt related word. Hope this gets you started on the way to what you want.

Thanks for posting this link SHELTIE'SMAMA. She has a free block pattern you can download to try out her patterns. I saw a couple of patterns I'd love to have. Maybe I'll give myself an early Christmas present. LOL.
