Trumpet Vine Quilt???

I have the urge to make my mom a quilt for her chemo sessions. I have a lovely batik- mottled medium blue with turquoise and purple trumpet vines- or maybe sweet pea vines- on it. I *know* somewhere in my many quilting books I have seen a quilt with one of those flowers. I can see it in my mind's eye so clearly..... it's vertical bars of fabric alternating with bars of pieced trumpet vine- or sweet peas- those vertical bars run the full length of the quilt- they are not blocks. I'm quite sure the book is some where around 10 to 15 years old. Has anybody any idea what I'm talking about and/or any idea what book it is in??? I want to use the batik alternating with the pieced flower/vine pattern from that elusive book.

TIA

Okay, maybe I don't know my flowers as well as I thought??? Now I think that it's a Morning Glory.

Are you sure it wasn't hollyhocks?

That is just the first picture I could find, I forget where I first saw the darned thing. Below the picture it says it is from the Larkspur Farm book if that is any help. Anyway, that is the one that popped into my head based on your description, or close to that anyway.

In the course of finding that pic, I also found this totally unrelated quilt:

Thanks, NightMist. That's really pretty, but it didn't look like that and the plain bands between the flowers were about the same width as the flower bands. I'm about to give up. I've been searching my books for hours.

Leslie, I have a pattern from a few years back that had pictures on both sides of the pattern. It could be interpreted as either morning glories or hollyhocks. It could be either pieced or paper pieced. Could that be it?

More recent than 1992-1997 which is more recent than 1990!

In my book beyond 1990 is not recent!

I am old - 1990 is yesterday!

Oops, just re-read your original post, and realize that this is not 10-15 years old, sorry. If you can see it so well in your mind, why not try to sketch it out? Mickie

Thank you, Sally. After all your trouble, no, that's not quite it. This one was pieced and I am pretty sure it wasn't in a magazine. I'm giving up. I'm sure I'll find it as soon as I start chopping up my fabric to make something else. Isn't that how it always goes?

this one? pieced flowers, sorta like morning glory, in a vertical vine/row. i like it in the reds with the lighter fabrics as they go up. gives it depth. just looks more realistic to me. easy to make as well. 4 patch and clip the corners with smaller sq like you do a snowball. setting different colours as you fancy. i like how they've added leaves along the way, just HSTs. heck even i could make those. hmmmmmm. thanks for bringing this thread up. given me some ideas to ponder. j.
