Hi! My name is Stella. I am looking for a train quilt pattern for my adult cousin who is dying from cancer. His one request is that I make him a quilt pieced together with a train, tracks and rolling through a city (possibly). He said "you'll figure out how to do it" ... I appreciate his faith in me, but I need some HELP. Is there anyone out there who can direct me to a site where I can find any of these components; I can put them all together at my end.
Thank you all for contributing to this site; I truly enjoy it! |
Hello Stella, welcome from Idaho! I don't have any ideas, but I think someone will.

Maybe you could get some ideas from this quilt.

Here is another pattern that needn't be too childish with the right sort of background.

I also like this one a lot and it seems to be suitably masculine.

Maybe a panel is the answer if you're looking to get this done very quickly. I saw this on ebay and it is a full yard panel. Lionel Panel on e-bay
I know that a pieced quilt would be the best, but sometimes sooner is better; especially when time is short. |
There are lots of train fabrics and patterns at trainfabrics.com.

Hello and Welcome to the board
How is your applique abilities ? I think that would be the best way to go ! Here is a train pattern : http://www.fatcatpatterns.com/Toddler%20Designs.html The tracks would just be black fabric in strips . Here is a church and some houses : http://www.fatcatpatterns.com/Miscellany%20Designs.html Good Luck and keep us posted |
