I think the pattern you are looking for is called "Parasol Lady"

I believe Eleanor Burns put out a book with that pattern. I could be wrong, as it could be by a different author, but there is definitely a book out with quilts made of that pattern. I remember a friend of mine bought it, several years ago. It had the parasol ladies on the cover.

I would suggest Bonnet Girls. http://www.bonnetgirls.com/ Warning, don't go to the site unless you want to smile and feel better.

Bonnet Girls! That's the name of the book my friend bought and I couldn't remember! Thanks, Onebyone, I did a search and couldn't find it because I used every possible word in my search except "bonnet" (parasol, umbrella ladies, etc.) I was starting to think I dreamt it all up, lol.
