Jan, I had not seen this website so thanks for posting. In 2003, Auburn University have been researching the Gee's Bend Quilts, along with other universities.
http://www.auburn.edu/academic/other/geesbend/home.html I believe in 2009 or so Windham put out Gee's Bends Kits done in Windham solids- saw them at Tuesday Morning. Windham Fabrics acquired the rights from each of the original designers, asked Debby Kravotil to write the patterns. Each pattern download is $8.
