HELP! M.I.A. Block: Kansas City Troubles Sampler quilt
I bought an incomplete sampler quilt kit (each block was a separate kit with precut fabrics and instructions for each block) at a guild fundraiser sale. I AM MISSING BLOCK/"Chapter 11" and wonder if anyone has this block from the set of patterns.
Here's the info I have: It's copyrighted 1998 - Kansas City Quilters. Each of the chapters has a block "description" that's written as though it's straight out of a diary from the mid-1860's. It was probably a block-of-the-month series purchased by the month. These are the blocks: Chapter 1: Kentucky Lily and setting fabrics/pattern Chapter 2: Freedom Flag Chapter 3: Wagon Tracks Chapter 4: Road to Illinois Chapter 5: Turkey Tracks Chapter 6: Mississippi Waves Chapter 7: Crosses and Losses Chapter 8: Flying Geese Chapter 9: Kansas Troubles Chapter 10: Kansas Dugout CHAPTER 11 : MISSING - DO YOU HAVE IT? Chapter 12: Finishing & Beginning I would deeply appreciate any help any of you has - fabrics to blend well with the others will not be a problem to find, but I'd sure like the information of Block/Chapter 11. MANY THANKS for any help you can lend! |

there are several HUNDRED quilt patterns produced by the KC Star - the most recent is July 17, 2012.
There is a KC Star BOM available through the Fat Quarter Shop (might not be the same BOM) http://www.fatquartershop.com/Vintag...-The-Month.asp a collection of quilt patterns from the Kansas City Star, in book form: http://www.abebooks.com/OGlory-Ameri.../8167666334/bd . . . . |

Is there a picture of BLOCK 11 (or the whole quilt) included with the Chapter 1 or Chapter 12 info?

I emailed them through their website asking for the block name and the chapter/diary entry. Fingers crosses they'll be able to help ... Thanks for the lead!
Thanks to everyone who got me on the right path! |
Glad it worked out!!
Looks like the quilt composition/compilation info was in the missing chapter. |
Did you find chapter 11. I bought mine at a quilt show and I am missing chapter 1. I was hoping that 12 would have how to set it together, but no such information. If you found 11, yeah, otherwise I would be willing to trade information. Thanks!
