I love her books, too! Both her FQ books & her others, too. Attached is a little redwork quilt I made from her 1st FQ book. I can't help it... I love this little quilt!

I also think that Kansas troubles would be great in courthouse steps and fatquarters would work great.
I can see Kansas troubles making a great nine patch too.

Personally? I can see "Kansas Troubles" being GORGEOUS in just about any pattern! And you can NEVER go wrong with a 9-Patch. Another suggestion would be one I want to make (in Civil War repos) called "Chunky Churndash" from Quiltville. Here's a pixture of it (from the blog) & a link to the pattern. Whatever you make, please make sure you post it! Inquiring minds...

I personally buy them for (my all-time favorite) 9-Patches. OK... I really buy them because I love them, but I like to use them for 9-Patches. Lof Cabins sound like a good idea, too!

Do you per chance have pictures? Oh, I hope so! All my YBRs look different, too... that's one reason I like it so much. It is so versatile!

Fat quarters that are Kansas Troubles? I thought KT was quilt block pattern.

It's both. Here's a link to the pattern & a picture of it, too. Think of how fabulous it (or Kansas Digout!) would look done in Kansas Troubles fabric!

Some of the Buggy Barn patterns use a stack of fq's that you slice through, shuffle, and sew back together again. I made the one with the star overtop of the heart. Easy and very pretty! There's a website. Check them out.

Kansas Troubles is a line of fabric put out by Moda. Mostly darker, flowers and stripes. Kind of like they would use on Little House on the Prarie!!!

There is a quilt shop and pattern designer in Kansas called Kansas Troubles Quilting that was signed by Moda to produce fabric lines in their signature style. They use lots of darks, homespuns, country fabrics that lend a more traditional look to their quilts, so the fabrics have that look. The owner/designer is Lynne Hagmeier.
