I'm trying to start a quilt for my 3 year old son. I love the look of pottery barn, but i can't seem to find any pattern where there might be some trucks or cars on there. i don't necessarily want a traditional repetitive quilt, but something with large blocks, and a few appliqued trucks (gasp, applique! i said it out loud! i've NEVER appliqued) anyways,
i have a quilt in mind that i found at pottery barn, but i really would like some kind of pattern to get me started.
thanks for reading! :)
p.s. it seems anything quilting related for boys is a hard find, so if any of you can direct me in the right path... :)

I know I have found applique train quilts patterns for free online. Google- free train quilt pattern. You will find a lot of great sites to check out along the way.
Also- how are you artisticly- can you draw some outline shapes to applique? Have fun designing your own.

this is a fatcats kid's pattern. they only do the barest outline for applique,but it's easy enough to figure it out.
are you doing machine applique or needleturn?
