No have not heard of these either. We live in Russell, about 1 hour west of Salina and 1/2 hour east of Hays. I will have to look these towns up.

I saw this quilt pattern as a sample quilt on the wall of a fabric shop. I just drew out on paper what it looked like, so I'm sure there must be a pattern some where. Very easy, NOT POSSITIVE without looking at my paper but I believe I cut my rectangles (or bricks not sure which you call them) 8 x 5-1/2 Inch, sew 6 bricks together in row of 3 by 2. Then when you join your block of 6 together just turn every other one so the next one would be 2x3 rows. Hard to explain, but once you look closely you will see what I mean. Thanks, and she was totally surprise and love it

Yes you are right, it does look brown but is lavenders. Here is a close up of the quilting and the color is better. I think it was too sunny out when I took the picture. Won't let me add a photo with my reply, I'll see if I can add it to my other pictures. Thanks.

I answered this for another posted question, maybe you can read that so I don't have to retype it. Thanks.
