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!

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.

Another one with some elements you might be able to use.

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.

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
