Someone ('Anonymous') left a comment on a blogpost from 2015.
She wanted to know the name of this patchwork block pattern on a quilt I had seen at Tokyo International Great Quilt Week 2015.
I have searched high and low, but not been able to find the name of the block.
Does any of my readers know? If so, please leave a message.
Using a graph paper and pencil one should be able to draw the pattern. I think this would be a good English Paper Piecing project.
So, Dear 'Anonymous', as I can't contact you by email, check back here later to see anyone has left a clue in the Comments.

I don't know what it's called, but it reminds me of millefiori glass work - maybe that was the inspiration and might help to track it down?

I don’t know either.
I think Rachel’s on the right track. I Googled “millefiori quilt” and found there’s a book “Millefiori Quilts”, with English paper pieced, hexagon-shaped blocks the look very similar to that quilt. The author is Willyne Hammerstein. Another site appears to sell kits of precut paper pieces for the quilts in the book.
I find it interesting how often people ask for the name of a quilt pattern ... especially one like this that would be fairly easy to draft on graph paper and make in any size. Often, in a group I belong to, that is the first question asked.
