German term or phrase: Fleckerlmuster
Das Fleckerlmuster hat vor allem in den Bergregionen und im Alpenvorland in holzvertäfelten Stuben Tradition und trägt durch seinen derb-fröhlichen Charakter in besonderer Weise zu schmucker Urgemütlichkeit bei.

I'm doing a translation for a friend of mine who owns an upholstery fabrics company. This sentence describes one of the patterns. Can anyone help with the term "Fleckerlmuster"? (see picture: http://www.picturepush.com/public/1105893) Thanks! :)
