My sister bought the kit for the car quilt over a year ago. She has yet to start it.

And, yes I agree, Tartan is amazing! She has helped so many here.

Oh yes this is it. Come to think on it I bought the others at Forget Me Knots in Bandon. I will make a trip to see if they can get me what I need. Thanks. And where on the net did you find this info...I searched for hours and found nothing.

or "Oregon Covered Bridges - Designs by J. Marie Norris" , also from Oregon Peddler, same address. They come in Navy or Brown.
OH yes this is it....thanks so much. I

I'm always thrilled to see how willing everyone is to help out a quilter with their knowledge and time. Life is so face-paced and often de-personalized that it does the heart good to see folks supporting and reaching out to others.

If they are still there, you could contact them and see if they know anything. They used to carry a lot of local interest items.
Yes, I agree with lindaschipper about Tartan's knowledge! She is just amazing!!
I have been just bordering them with coordinating fabrics. I found some covered bridge fabric with panels and an all over print so wanted to do some thing more adventurous for the bridges. I will take some prints of the tops later today so you can see what I did, but really they are very simple.

Kellen46, thanks for letting me know how you used your blocks. Pictures would be helpful. The Oregon Trail blocks need way more to make a quilt size. Maybe I'll make a runner for the foot of the bed. Hmm...
Tessagin, that quilt is gorgeous! It's so fun to see embroidery coming back and being used in quilts! Nice work! Agree that a copper color would be better than flat brown.

I cannot find the covered bridges I thought I had, I have done the light houses and Oregon trail quilts and wanted the covered bridges as well. It does not have to be Oregon covered bridges, just covered bridges in general. All I can find are painted full color ones...anyone understand what I am talking about? I have googled until I am blue and cannot find them...somewhere is a set languishing in a stash....can anyone help me find them?
I located these on Ebay, www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=covered bridge quilt pattern.
There are 12 blocks, Good Luck to You.
