From Vintage Quilts
Fall 2001 Issue
Kansas Sunset
Owned by
Beth Hayes
Cindy Rennels,
owner of Cindy's Quilts in Clinton, Oklahoma, found this striking
quilt in Kansas during her Western travels. A cooler teal, which
may or may not have originally been green, combines with turkey
red for the 'reels.' Cheddar sashing makes a definite statement.

Planning a Reproduction
Because of the number of tiny triangles in the pieced border strips,
it may be necessary to make slight adjustments to make them fit the
quilt top properly.
The appliqué background squares are not cut oversized
to allow for shrinkage during appliqué.
A single template is given for the red shapes in the
blocks and the setting triangles; only half of the template shape is
used for the latter.
