Unknown Pattern: Wicker Park

A complex pattern in a 20th-century top from an online auction.

It hasn't got a name.
How about Wicker Park for a Chicago neighborhood?

Wicker Park

How to even figure out the repeat?
You might construct it as a strip quilt.
Above on the right: a narrow vertical strip of squares and rectangles B.
On the left: A wider series of rectangular blocks 


The rectangular block

Rectangle B is twice as long a the square
Rectangle C 3 x
If you were using precuts
Cut 
A 2-1/2" squares
B 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles
C 2-1/2" x 6-1/2" rectangles

Easy to cut and piece.
Hard to keep it all straight.

  1. The look of this pattern is similar to a pieced border that I just completed in red and white. I saw the idea on Pinterest and don't know the original source.
