L.L. Bean Quilts?

I am a huge fan of L.L. Bean, although quite young. I love their vintage/cottage style, and they make the greatest quality items available.
I am redecorating my room, and when I received the new L.L. Bean catalog this past week, I found the perfect quilt for my room!

I prefer the "Flying Geese" or "Multi Star" patterns. Although... I need something similar to it at a cheaper price. Does anyone have a clue where to find something cheaper, almost identical to any of the above patterns, and close to Harrisburg, PA (I live in Hershey)?

JCPenney has some less expensive quilts.
