This design is Denyses version of a traditional "snake-in-the-grass" or "drunkards path" pattern. Snake Charmer is a bit more formal and self-contained, and subtle shifts of color and echo quilting impart an organic-modernist feel. An idea long on the drawing board, this pattern finally took shape when Denyse developed it for her how-to book.
