    The colorful ones for seats are normaly Navajo, I have some real mexican blankets they are pretty plain. Normally plaid or with a stripe. Unless I am spending time on the res I usually find them at a truck stop at least that is the best place to find them around here.

    You might want to check with your local weavers guild as well-I know a couple of weavers around here-namely through the one in Ingersoll ON who did that kind of blanket as well...
