Quilt Pattern, an outlined canvas for a class at Loretta's shop, Fiesta Needleart, has turned up on eBay.  The outline (copyright 1990 Loretta Spears Designs) is on a piece of 9 1/4 by 13 1/4 inch Congress cloth.  The seller thinks the Congress Cloth is 20-22 inch.  The auction doesn't have any written material included.

This is what the 1986 class version looks like stitched.  Note that it is on 18 count tan canvas.
