The pattern's called wine glass -- it's a traditional hand-quilting pattern.
I've just had a look online and singularly failed to find any instructions. Here is my attempt to write it out, but if you email me I'll send you a picture of my diagram from the class (made because, like you, I thought 'I'm not going to be able to figure that out...').
Mark a 1" grid. It's sewn entirely in arcs, about 1/4"in from the grid lines (adjust for different grid sizes, natch). Tutor recommended initially pausing for a one-two stitch after each arc, as you get better you can do it continually. Start at the top left. 1) Do arcs going down the lhs. 2) At the bottom, arc along one space , then up one (point x). Go to the left, under the line, then back to point x above the line. Up one, left, right. Up one, left, right. When you get to the top, go up and then back down (not left as previously) and then continue to repeat 1, then 2, etc. At the end, you should be at the top right of your grid: go back to the start point, under the line, to complete the pattern.
(For added fun, my picture is rotated so that top right on the picture is top left in sewing order. It should in theory work anyway, but if you rotate it then it might be easier to see!)
It is far more forgiving of badly-done arcs than than you would think, as long as you meet up at the intersections of your grid squares.
